Got my nose done six years ago, is it possible to make my nose bigger? (photo)

Most people get rhinoplasty to make their nose smaller, I would like to know if it’s possible to make my nose bigger. I got my nose done about six years ago before I knew about ethnic nose jobs and the surgeon that worked on me cut my nose off and not only is it extremely tiny to the point where I can’t breathe it’s also lopsided. I wanted to know if it’s possible to rebuild my old nose or widen it and lengthen it, because it does not suit my wide face and I’m extremely insecure since I got it.
