Advice on graft removal? (Photo)

Carmen4520
I had a rhinoplasty in April 2023. I was supposed to only have my septum deviation corrected but when I came out of surgery the doctor told me he had extra cartilage so he rebuilt my tip. Apparently I got a tip graft and alar rim grafts as well as a septal extension graft. The tip of my nose is constantly white and shows a triangle through my skin. My tip is very pointy and am having resistance with breathing because my tip and alar rims are so bulky! I would like to remove these grafts!
