Is It Possible to Have Augmentation in Rhinoplasty?

xy777
Is it possible to augment in a Revision Rhinoplasty? My surgeon cut too much off of the bridge. Would the average amount of septal cartilage be enough for the augmentation goal (in yellow) assuming it wasn't used in primary surgery? Also, how complex would augmentation of this type be? Should I seek a revision specialist? Also, I'm just looking for something completly natural. I'm wondering if the angle would be considered acceptable with the bridge and the tip or would the tip need to be more protruding to create a natural look?
