Obviously, you want to consult with a very experienced and highly specialized nasal cosmetic surgeon to determine the best course of action.
Most likely, in order to achieve your desires, it would be important to have additional tissue or fillers placed, particularly in the tip. The flatness of the tip and the depression in the...

Is revision rhinoplasty possible?
The answer is yes if you are in the right hands and no if you are looking for a simple solution. You will need a major reconstruction. It's quite likely that in addition to bony and cartilaginous deficiency that you also have significant contracture of your internal lining and skin.

Is it Possible to Achieve My Desired Result Through Revision Rhinoplasty?
The real question, IMHO, is whether your nasal skin has the required laxity to lengthen and shape the nasal tip and build up the nasal bridge.

Realistic expectations after revision rhinoplasty
Based on your photos you have a very complex situation from your previous procedures. Consultations with surgeons comfortable with revision rhinoplasty techniques, including rib graft harvesting for example, is essential. Get at least 3 opinions and don't rush into anything. You can hope to get improvement but not perfection.

Revision Rhinoplasty
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. While your appearance can be improved to help achieve your desired result, because this is now your 3rd rhinoplasty, it would be best to have an in-person consultation with a board certified specialist with a strong understanding of the underlying nasal anatomy to best examine your nose and customize a solution to best address your concerns.

Rhinoplasty revision
You have a major problem with the nose in general and the collapsed, short nasal tip.
I do not know what are your expectations, but you need a good evaluation of the nose in person and evaluate the skin, the cartilage the bone and a decision as to what can be done and what to expect. In my practice this is a two hour consultation and need at least three sessions of consultations prior to surgery.
