Is it possible to do outfracture of the nose to make it wider even if the bone is missing? To achieve a look like these photos?

Asked By:RevisionDone in USA

In these photos the girls nose is thinner because of an in fracture because of an accident. My nose is thin like this but due to aggressive rhinoplasty. Is it possible to get a result like this even if bone is missing? Can outfracture be over done? Will a LOT of packing be enough to keep the bones in their new spot? I really want my nose wide again. The sides of my nose are concave where they used to be convex ... If like the whole sides of nose widened Thank you
