Pros and Cons of Gore-tex and Sillicone in Rhinoplasty?

jk363
I am trying to figure out which is between Gore-tex or Silicone is better for Rhinoplasty. I heard that Gore-tex can shrink 40% in size over time and silicone has a chance of popping out (seen pictures) and make the nose very pointy looking. I'm Asian and seeking a little height as well as smaller base. What do you advise?
