Is it worth getting a Revision Rhinoplasty using a rib graft? Will it make my nose bigger? I have very thick skin.

After my 2nd surgery my nose was shortened and the definition was noticeable for the first 4 months, I also had steroid injections. My surgeon who did my primary and revision wants to use rib graft to make the shortening noticeable. It's thick skin hanging at the columella, when I push it up the skin sticks to the cartilage tip and looks shortened. I do not want my nose to be bigger & my surgeon has said it would not be. Is there a chance of my nose appearing larger when using rib graft?
