Bioplast jewelry in a fresh nose piercing?

Is a piercer able to use a clear bioplast jewelry instead of stainless steel for a new piercing? I know plastic isn't normally good for fresh piercings, but is bioplast different? I've heard multiple answers to this, and just wanted to know what other people might now.

Update:

wanted to know what other people *know.

    Bioplast can be autoclaved. Not all piercers will use it initially though. You will have to shop around to find a piercer who is willing to use it. Some will want to order it themselves also.

    first off, bioplast is essentially plastic...

    and no, since bioplast jewelry cannot be sterilized in an autoclave, a reliable/safe piercer will not use that for the jewelry when you get pierced.

    also, since bioplast is porous, it can easily hold bacteria and increase chances of infection which is not good for a piercing, especially one still healing
