You may be a candidate for a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty.
You should seek consultation from a board-certified facial plastic surgeon experienced in rhinoplasty surgery, and see many photos demonstrating favorable results.

Radiesse for Post Rhinplasty Defects
Radiesse can be used for smaller defects to create the illusion of a straighter nose or to correct a depression. I have submitted a photo of the latter as an example and this should be available tomorrow.
