Adding Rib Graft to Make Nose Bridge Larger?

zaddy123
I had Rhinoplasty and my surgeon cut the nose and made my bridge small. If I want it larger, is there a way to ADD a rib graft? Or would it have to be replaced completly? Can the nose be made as big as the patient desires, or are there limitations?
