Over 10 years ago i go my bump filed down from bridge of nose. I woke up and the dr mentioned he narrowed the tip and put plastic things I'n tip for definition.

Nose Narrow and Uneven 10 years after Rhinoplasty

After patiently accepting a result that you don't like for 10 years after surgery, I strongly recommend that you consult with a rhinoplasty specialist to improve the appearance of your nose. It sounds like you had an implant placed during your previous rhinoplasty, which may be causing your constant nasal drainage either because of a persistent low grade infection or exposure of the plastic inside your nose.
