Can an auricular composite graft placed for alar retraction be removed?

Readysetgo9
After previous rhinoplasty 10 years ago, I was left with a deviated septum and alar retraction on my left side. I had revision rhinoplasty and the deviated septum was corrected as well as an auricular composite graft was used only on the left side. I hate it. the alar retraction was overcorrected and my nostrils are more asymmetrical now. 1.) Can a composite graft be safely and effectively removed? 2.) Will my nose shape go back to the previous retracted shape or even worse? Or unpredictable?
