How safe is rhinoplasty with implants?

Asked By:dennis644466 in Palisades Park, NJ

22 y.o. asian planning to get rhinoplasty for a taller nose and bridge. However, I am still not convinced about the safety of implant whether it be silicone/goretex/etc. The nose has very thin skin and inserting foreign material is bound to have inflammation, resulting in expulsion through nose tip or granuloma formation. I believe it's pretty well-known that breast implants fail due to capsular fibrosis and I'm worried for nose implants. What material is safest even after several years? thanks!
