No cartilage left in my nose from previous rhinoplasty, is it possible to have a revision rhinoplasty in this case?

Asked By:Timati0090 in Los Angeles, CA

I had rhinoplasty surgery eight years ago and today I went for a revision rhinoplasty consultation(different doctor) he checked my nose for cartilage and said that they did not leave any Cartilage in it from the previous surgery, he also said that he could take some from the ear but in my case he couldn't find anything in my nose and recommended that i don't do it again because it will be very weak and it could collapse, so I was wondering how true is this?
