Are Nasolabial Implants Toxic?

Q: Dr. Eppley, May i enquire about nasolabial implants. Are they toxic? I was reading they are same as Teflon.

A: No facial implant material used is toxic. One of the material options for such midface implants is ePTFE which is very different structurally from Teflon which is PTFE.
