Can you remove nasal tip cartilage after primary rhinoplasty? (photos)

Asked By:80smama in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I'm one year post-op and the cartilage graft placed on my tip is visible and looks unnatural in my opinion. I have thin skin. The upper part of my nose has a slope so the tip appears prominent. My surgeon said he would not take it out in a revision and recommended camouflaging it with fascia. I now am skeptical of revision with him. Is it possible to remove this tip cartilage graft?
