Will Ear Cartilage Regrow in Ear After It is Used in Rhinoplasty?

pumpkin84
I heard from some doctors said that ear cartilage will regrow in the original place of where it was taken out. Is this true? If this is the case, then can we use regrown cartilage in our secondary Rhinoplasty if the original one has been used up in the primary surgery?
