Will Ear Cartilage in Tip for Rhino Augmentation Feel Soft and Flexible? Almost Like Original Nose?

horas
I had rhinoplasty 3 years ago using L shaped silicone, and my tip now is super hard. And I hate it because everyone who touch my tip will know I had work done. Some doctors said if I choose to revise with rib for bridge and ear cartilage for tip, then my tip will feel softer almost like the untouched nose. However some doctors said that though ear cartilage is used the nose tip will remain hard and firm forever. I don't know which one is true? Can you give me an honest opinion? Thank you.
