Hi Dr. Jung i understand that you have stated that gore-tex is a better choice than Silicone/silastic. However i was thinking out of all your patients who had problems with silastic wasnt it because of the previous doctor's mistake of putting the implant too close to the tip and not because of the material? If silastic was correctly put in only the dorsum area and septal cartilage was used for the tip shouldnt everything go right?
If an unexperienced doctor put a gore-tex implant all the way down to the tip wouldnt it also cause problemS?
my point is that since most of the problem arises from the doctor not putting the implant in right why is gore-tex better than silastic?
