📌Weaknesses

1. There is a chance of slight shape change (but less than goretex).

🌀Noplant 4th generation

If the patient is uncomfortable with artificial implant, then noplant 4th generation is a good choice. Noplant is made of diced cartilage wrapped by fascia.

📌Strengths 

1. No rejection

2. Able to achieve natural line in both genders

3. Minimal absorption rate compared to just using dermis

4. It's good for revision surgery since it's strong against infection

5. It's strong against shock

Each implant has its own strengths and weaknesses and can be decided after a face to face consultation with the doctor. The best implant can be decided based on the patients’ skin type, nose structure, and desired style
