Nasal tip material: rib or rib + ear cartilage

I visited 9 rhinoplasty clinics, and 2 clinics mentioned rib + ear cartilage, while the other 7 mentioned only costal cartilage. When I asked why they use ear cartilage together, they said that as the rib cartilage gets longer, it cannot support as firmly, so they keep the rib cartilage length short and use ear cartilage at the nasal tip. If the whole thing is done with ear cartilage, that also cannot support it, so they use rib and cartilage together. Also, ear cartilage shapes the nasal tip softly and well. The doctor said he also used to use only rib cartilage in the past, but now he can’t do it without using cartilage. I asked whether ear cartilage gets absorbed, and they said cartilage does not get absorbed; if inflammation occurs, bacteria gnaw away at it, which is why that happens. But only 2 clinics said this, so I’m wondering if this is rightㅠ Everyone here who knows, please commentㅜㅜㅜ And I also saw a review from one of the clinics that said they use ear cartilage where the nose dropped, so I’m worried that if I use ear cartilage, it might get lowerㅠ
