Pros and cons of ear and rib grafts?

need_revision_XO
What's are the risks of harvesting cartilage from my ear or my rib? Which type of cartilage has more tendency to wrap over the years? Which type of cartilage would you suggest for my revision if I need major tip reconstruction, spreader grafts and bridge augmentation? And I was wondering if septal cartilage grafts can also wrap over time? Thank you very much!
