Will cartilage last as long as a graft when used in the nose bridge and nose tip?

If used to augment a nose bridge and refine the nose tip, is one’s own ear cartilage a permanent rhinoplasty result? While I have found numerous studies comparing the resorption rates of autologous rib cartilage vs irradiated rib cartilage, I cannot find any studies that report the long term resorption rates of autologous ear cartilage.
