I read about this somewhere, is this actually possible? and what is it exactly? I just want to avoid using rid catrilage to augment my nose which was reduced previously in a closed rhinoplasty

Answer: All type of osteotomies exist By reverse osteotomy, you may mean outfracture, which means moving the nasal bones outward instead of the usual inward (or towards the face). While this is possible, it is an unusual maneuver, and is used rarely. Basically the nasal bones or nasal bone is broken at the point where it meets the face and and is displaced away from the face. Situations that require this are usually facial trauma cases. Narrow noses from rhinoplasty are usually better treated with grafting techniques.
