Is Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty Reversable, and Still Have a Normal Looking Nose? How Soon?

DeeDeeM
I had a revision rhinoplasty 4 weeks ago. I had 3 rhinoplasty surgeries. My nose was O.K. after the first procedure. It was straight, I was wanted some narrowing. The second surgeon created a whole new nose that I did not ask for. He made my bridge crooked, zigzag. He cut my round tip made it a triangle shape and lifted it. One ear was used for cartilage grafting, very painful.The third surgeon said that I needed rib rhinoplasty.Now I have a stiff nose, pointy tip. Can I have all this removed?
