Korean Rhinoplasty - Concerning Nose Bridge Augmentation Material

Munchikens
Hello I'm Korean male with bulbous nose tip and low nose bridge and it's wide at the same time. 50% of Korean doctors recommend silicone for nose bridge + own cartilage for nose tip and the other 50% gortex for nose bridge and own cartilage for nose tip. However most N. American surgeons tend to agree with patients cartilage for nose tip but not use silicone for nose bridge. If I use silicone will I have to remove it later anyway? Also I can't swim if I have silicone? Thank you~!
