Does ear cartilage last a lifetime in revision rhinoplasty surgery? Why would one surgeon say rib while another does not? (photo

Msplatinum
I have thin skin and need tip work and also my internal valves are collapsing, my breathing is really bad on my right side. We have no idea if i have septal cartilage until surgery. I don't mind using rib but what if the surgeon I like didn't recommend it?
