Bump on bridge of nose from cartilage graft. Is it possible to shave or rasp this down? (Photo)

BlueAngel10
Hi doctors I had revision rhinoplasty one month ago to refine nasal tip and add fullness to the right side of the nasal bridge. I believe the swelling has abated on the nasal bridge but the graft is very visible resulting in a bump on the nose. Is it possible to shave or rasp this down?
