Is it possible to reverse dome binding sutures and shave down cap greft, for a smoother tip?

My surgeon removed 2mm cephalic trim which shouldve been enough but then he also sutured my tip together, added cap greft etc.. now it looks too pointy at the tip, 2mm wider tip lines compared to my massive bridge (he made bridge very wide!) i dont want additional rib grefting, i want a simple procedure, is it possible to cut off the dome binding sutures he made and shave the cap greft so i have more a rounded nose?
