Will Having a Thin Gore-tex Implant As Opposed to a Thick One in the Nose Lessen the Chances of Extrusion/infection?

vool100
A month ago, I had rhinoplasty where the PS used a thin piece of gore-tex to on my nose bridge. I used a thinner implant because I was satisfied with the height of my bridge, but wanted the appearance of a more narrow definition from the front. I have read about the risks of extrusion/ infection using implants such as gore-tex/silicone. However, will using a much thinner gore-tex implant lesson the risks significantly?
