Do ear grafts lasts forever in rhinoplasty?

Asked By:KamiAy in Statesboro, GA

When ear/rib grafts are used in order to lengthen the nose and widen the tip, do they last forever? Or do they need to be replaced in a revision rhinoplasty as the patient ages? Since natural noses drop too with age is there the possibility of the grafts to "slip" out of place or to loosen and make the nose look irregular or unnatural so that a revision would be needed?
