Between Silicone and Gore Tex Which Will Be Better?

March 22, 2012
Asked By:ghelo

i had my rhinoplasty a couple of weeks using silicone implant since it was strongly recommended by my surgeon, after 5 days i just woke up having a swollen eyes and cheek. i notify my doctor and prescribed strong antibiotic. the response was good but he recommends for the removal of the implant and be put back after a month. now im hesitant to use silicon again plus the fact that i felt the hard feeling inside my nose. will it be better to use gore tex instead of silicon for a more natural feel?
