How safe and aesthetic is Surgiform nose implant? (Photo)

Question

I am considering to have my nose reduced since I have a big tip and flared thick nostril with rather low bridge. The doctor consulted me to heighten my nose with Surgiform materials. I still feel unsure about this and would like to know whether this material can last forever and is safe for my nose.

Thank you for your question i would recommend operation using the latest Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty device Piezo®: 
In traditional Rhinoplasty, surgical instruments known as rasps and osteotomies (hammer and chisel) are used to reshape the nasal bones by removing the hump and/or narrowing the nasal bone width. These tools are relatively imprecise and their use can lead to contour irregularities, etc. if not used in the proper manner. Recently, a technology that uses sound waves has been developed to contour nasal bones in a precise and far less traumatic way when compared to traditional techniques. Ultrasonic, or Piezo, Rhinoplasty is now the most advanced technology available for minimally traumatic nasal bone reshaping and hump removal during Rhinoplasty. There will be hardly any bruising and swelling which will make the recovery period a lot easier for the patient.

Surgiform is a perfectly safe material to use in the nose. Some providers prefer cartilage, but sometimes, not enough cartilage is available to do the job. Also, sometimes, cartilage can warp or change size over time. Gortex has been used in the body for over 30 years and interacts well - the body essentially grows into it and it becomes part of you. We have used this material for the last 20 years with no problems. So as long as an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon is doing the procedure, it should be fine.
