Huge/asymetric Nostrals and a Long Nose, Can You Help?

I had 2 rhinoplasty procedure done Ist in 2001 for the bump,Second, 2008 for the tip. I have asymmetric nostrils and one side of nose/nostril is higher than other. My nose doesn't feel soft at all its hard from the tip and all bony. When I squeeze my nostrils, left side with the huge hole nostril feels harder than the right side with normal nostril size. The nose looks long to me and hard. Is there any possible recommendation for my case?
