Bulbous, Asymmetrical Tip
It sounds paradoxical, but your bulbous asymmetrical tip can be improved by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon by actually adding cartilage to achieve a more defined, symmetrical tip that is proportional to your surrounding facial features.

Bulbous tip
Thanks for the question.Pictures limited to nose with low resolution are not ideal for PS to comment but it seems others then the bulbous tip you have sebaceous thick skin.Tip plasty can improve it but must be performed by experts in the field.Thick skin hides the infra structural change that will be performed during tip plasty.

Bulbous tip
You have what is sometimes called "parentheses" deformity and what appears to be moderately thick skin. A rhinoplasty which reshapes and adds support to position your lateral crura in a more horizontal plane along with tip shaping will give you the changes you are looking for.

Recommendation for bulbous tip
The bulbousness of the tip can be addressed through tip suturing techniques whereby tip cartilages are sewn together to refine and narrow the nasal tip. A small cartilage graft at the supratip area of the nose will prevent the nose from appearing uplifted. The limiting factor with a wide bulbous tip such as this is thick skin, which will blunt the overall effects of the tip rhinoplasty.
