Is outfracture during revision too risky?

Can'tBreathe2013
Is outfracture during a revision too risky? I have read mixed things on the good ol' internet and would prefer hearing opinions of professionals. If bones were over-narrowed and resulting in apparent collapse, how possible is it to reverse that? I am also wondering if it is a similar procedure as when someone's nose gets broken and needs outfracture. Is it any more difficult than that during revision? I know revision in general is tricky but just wondering about the bones, specifically.
