What do you think about using donated costal cartilage for revision rhinoplasty?

I had rhinoplasty over ten years ago, and now my nasal tip has drooped a lot. I wanted to redo it a bit more dramatically, so I went for revision rhinoplasty consultations. But they said that, based on my chest X-ray, my entire costal cartilage has calcified, so they can’t use autologous costal cartilage..... Is it okay to do revision rhinoplasty with donated costal cartilage..? I heard that donated costal cartilage can be absorbed, so I was absolutely set on autologous costal cartilage, but I never imagined every single part would be so calcified that none of it could be used;;; Even just looking at reviews, most revision rhinoplasties seem to use autologous costal cartilage. Why can’t I use it? I’m so depressedㅠㅠ Is there anyone whose nasal tip hasn’t drooped and is holding up firmly with donated costal cartilage?
