Is there any way to do an out fracture osteotomy to widen my nose and make it way more convex like how it used to be? (Photo)

I had a septorhinoplasty and my nose is SOOO MUCH thinner that what I used to be be and I absolutely HATE IT!!. I know the doctor performed an in fracture osteotomy, but is there any way I can get a revision and get an out fracture osteotomy with spreader grafts to widen my nose? Do rib spreader grafts keep the nose stiff? How thick in mm do the spreader grafts need to be to hold everything in place if an out fracture is performed? Is it very risky since my bone will technically be broken again?
