Absorption or Wrapping After Revision Rhinoplasty?

shahrukh
I had an Revision Rhinoplasty a year ago, with ear cartilage on my nose bridge to give it a little bit of height. My first rhinoplasty surgeon over-reduced my nose bridge. The cartlage has not wrapped or absorbed, just a little bit or wrap on day 1. The doctor says he's sure that now there will be no absoprtion and wrapping since my nose has accepted the ear cartilage and the blood circulation is there. Is this really the case? I'm scared to death that if it wrapped or absorbed, I will have to do another surgery.
