Over Rotated Tip? how to Fix This Bad Rhinoplasty? (photo)

I used to have a very straight nose but quite long.I underwent a rhinoplasty 1 year and a half ago in order to make it a bit shorter but i still wanted it to be straight and with a defined tip.ever since i noticed it didn't look straight anymore as if my tip was sticking out more then then the bridge.now the tip looks so rounded and nor really alligned with the bridge.what is wrong with it?
