Cartilage + goretex or just cartilage for rhinoplasty? Revision only 2 months since I had rhinoplasty.

nosediary123
My body is rejecting the silicone implant. The doc said that if I want the same results as my new nose, I will have to have goretex for my nose bridge & ear cartilage for my tip. The thing about that is the goretex is also a foreign body. But with using my ear cartilage, there are less risks, but my nose bridge will not be as high. Should I take the risk again and get the goretex+ cartilage or just cartilage. Will using just cartilage still buildup a good about for a nose bridge?
