Is it possible to remove grafts from a previous rhinoplasty during a revision? Will this help reduce stiffness?

In my primary, I know ear cartilage was used to augment the bridge and tip also an alarplasty. I'm not sure if other supporting grafts are generally used too. I hate how stiff my nose is now and how it doesn't move like a natural nose. I am desperate to fix this and to get as close to my old nose possible. Can diced cartilage grafts be removed? Can my base be widened? If these things are possible, and if they are done, will my nose move like normal and will it look close to my original nose?
