Can a Radix Graft Be Reduced in Closed Approach?

sarahsue2011
Hi, i had a revision rhinoplasty about 2 1/2 weeks ago and i am worried the radix graft my surgeon put is too big. Would i be able to have it shaved/reduced with a closed approach? Or would it more likely have to be open? I am scared of having another open op as this one has been very traumatic to the skin. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide on this issue.
