How likely is rib warp or cartilage shrinking?

newnosesameme
How likely is this? Does it all depend on the patient’s nose/scar tissue/etc.? I’m hoping for a revision to give my nose back its tip and length and I am a little nervous for the possibility of the cartilage shrinking or the rib warping (if I’d need rib). And if anyone has experience with this please let me know.
