I have decided to go to seoul for my nose job, as i will have the option of using Silicone, Gore-text or Sili-text as the nasal dorsal implant in the nasal bridge and the autologous tissues as the tip of my nose. I am still confused if i should go for the flexibility of the gore-text which may cause an inflammation or the silicone that is not so flexible but safe for period up to 20years? There is not much i could find on sili-text, could someone give me some advice?

Answer: Which Material Makes the Best Implant for Nose Job? It is interesting that you mention traveling to Seoul so that you can have a synthetic implant placed. Most are available here in the US. The ideal implant is composed of your own cartilage as the risk of inection, extrusion and migration are much lower. It is rare that someone does not have enough cartilage for an augmentation rhinoplasty. It is rare than that someone truly needs a synthetic implant. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

Answer: Material For Nasal Implants
Hello,
Naturally, the autologous cartilage graft (nose, ear, rib) is often used as it has the lowest risk of infection/rejection; it is simply using the patient's own cartilage harvesting it from one part of the body to implant it in another recipient area.
As for the synthetic grafts, they present delayed rejections in some cases (even years after the procedure).
That being said, please remember that commendable results require an exceptionally skilled surgeon to perform the surgery and settling for anything less than that increases the chances of additional corrective surgeries dramatically.
I hope this helps and please feel free to check the website below.
Thank you for your inquiry.
The best of luck to you.
