What cartilage/other grafts can be used in a revision?

tennisshoes
I got a rib graft rhinoplasty 2 years ago. I am not sure why a rib graft was used in my primary but I want a revision since i regret it a lot & i'm not happy with how small it looks and doesn't fit me when i just wanted the hump removed. I also don't like how stiff it feels, i was wondering what other grafts can be used that are softer and more normal nose like bc if the previous rib graft can be removed?
