Asian Rhinoplasty Bridge Implant lifespan?

danasc
Hi all, I am considering an Asian rhinoplasty, and after extensive research still torn between the multiple materials used to build up (augment) the bridge. So my main question is how long silicone implants last? Ive heard "L" implants are not good to use due to the possibility of it coming through the skin. So in summary im just wondering whether a "I" silicone implant would last forever, or if it would eventually have to be removed? Many thanks, Dany
