One doctor wants to use Gore Tex for my nose, but I need a second opinion about it. How risky is it to use Gore Tex?

He wants to use my own cartilage (taken from my ear) to refine the tip of the nose, but to enhance and augment my bridge, he wants to use Gore Tex. When asked if he could use my own cartilage from the bridge as well, he replied that it would not give the same effect. Note that this is about an ethnic nose job. How risky really is the use of Gore Tex? He says that the risk of complications is 3% only. Why can't cartilage be used for the bridge of my nose according to him do you think? Thank you
