Visible cartilage graft on the tip of my nose. Any suggestions? (photos)

mochimoo
I have had three rhinoplastys. From what I can see years later, my skin looks like it has thinned and now I can see a hard cartilage graft that was placed on the tip of my nose. It really bothers me and my nose is very senistive to cold temperatures and feels tight around the graft. I would hate to go under the knife again. Any suggestions? Can the graft be removed?
