Revision options for goretex, medpor removal?

Ljb23
I have 1mm goretex on bridge of nose and medpor sewn into septum for support. I would like both of these removed. I am with long term effects of ePTFE in my body. Org. surgeon says he’ll remove them but will not replace with cartilage. Just wait and see what happens. Im worries I’ll get these out, need a third surgery shortly after. which I cannot do financially. Should I replace synthetic implants within ex-plant surgery or hope my body produce enough scar tissue?
