Can Rib Cartilage Grafts be Trimmed or Removed After Being Placed During Revision Rhinoplasty?

ace123a
i had rev. rhino a few months ago and i feel the projection is too much and bridge is too much... (i had coll. strut graft and dorsal onlay)... my question is can they be trimmed/removed??? how much PROJECTION does a strut give? if it is reduced or removed, how much deprojection would i expect to get? also, will taking down a dorsal onlay graft have any negative effects (leaving a dent, i read somewhere online) or is it just like regular bone where the skin cleanly redrapes over it... thanks
