Answer 1

GORE-TEX implant is a subcutaneous augmentation material (SAM which has the following advantages:

• safe, worry-free and rejection-free

• provides a natural look as its soft consistency allow it to blend well with the natural contours of the nose

• soft consistency likewise prevent implant rejection

• absence of eventual nasal contraction since it allows rapid and natural tissue ingrowth

Christina :-), Last month my buddy got plastic surgery and the results look really good so far. Where I live a there are certain surgeons that are better than others. I'd consult cosmetic surgeons in your area and see what sort of success they have had with past clients. http://www.plasticcosmeticsurgerycenter....
