Ear Cartilage or Rib Graft for Rhinoplasty?

User Avatar
justaperson
I had a nose infection before so using a silicone implant was strongly not recommended. One of the surgeons I saw said that rib grafts will warp over time so using ear cartilage is more ideal. However rib will give a bigger better result + I dont have alot of ear cartilage cuz some of it (or all of it?) has been used in one of my ears. Soo help me out ?
