There are two types of gore: hard and soft type. There is no material with absolutely no risk of complications. Personally I think gore-tex has a lower risk of complications than silicone. Also it is softer so it looks more natural when inserted. Costal cartilage is something to be considered as well.

>I know that silicone causes problems after years but how about gore-tex? Is it safe to keep it for many years in your nose? Is gore-tex only one type or are there many types of it? I'm really curious because I don't want my nose to have problems after years of operation.
