How do Gore-Tex, Medpor and Silastic compare when properly used in Indian/Asian short nosed patients?

Asked By:anonpatient in New York, NY

It's my understanding that placement of the implant in natural cartilage is the real onus of any implant to help a patient augment a low bridge/support a tip through the dorsum. Which is better? Which can best refine a nose & provide columellar support without adding excess projection?
