Revision rhinoplasty to lift lateral cartilages to change a narrow nose to a rounder and sloped nose?

Anonymous551376
I had a rhinoplasty 8 months ago to correct a deviated septum and remove a bump on the right side of the nose, however the surgeon changed the round tip of my nose and created a narrow nose. I want to regain certain aspects such as the sloped profile (supratip) and rounder tip. I like it bc it fits my face better and its a characterstic that runs in the family. Is this possible to do? I had a septoplasty performed so I dont believe I have much septum cartilage to harvest.
