Cartilage showing very white tip. Happy with dr and nose but not cartilage show and want as many experts to weigh in. (photos)

7 mo post op, thin skin before surgery and now cartilage shows even more through the tip. No grafts were placed in my nose, tip just shaved down. My dr's plan-revise at a yr thru closed procedure, take fascia from my ear to lay over the tip of my nose. Experts-agree? Should I trim some off the tip so projection is not added by the fascia? Should this be a closed procedure? Lastly, is this fairly easy or complex revision? ONLY want to change white tip and "boney" cartilage look of tip... soften
