Answer: Silicon or Gore-tex for flight-attendant?
It depends on how long after the surgery you will be flying. Couple of weeks after will be better since there is less chance of complications such nose bleed etc. I have used hundreds of silicone implants in Asian patients with complication rate very similar to caucasian rhinoplasty. It is safe, with no donor site morbidity.

Answer: Silicone vs gortex for the asian nose
A lot of your choice depends on where the implant is to be placed. Both silicone and gortex work well for the dorsum but, i find gortex more user friendly. Whereas I have had to remove several silicone implants. Be aware the gortex does very poorly in the nasal tip. In any case, i don't see that you carreer is a problem,
