18 Months Post-Op Rhinoplasty and My Nose is Constantly Running, is this Normal? Do I Need a Revision?

I had rhinoplasty almost 18 months ago. I'm half pleased with it. The side profile is very nice but the front which I was most worried about the first time is still boxy. I asked to refine the tip but I don't think he went far enough. I think the sides are still too wide and uneven. I also still have a constant runny nose. And blow it 5-7 on average and if I tilt my head forward for to long it runs, and runs immediately if I'm exercising especially with weights. Could revision fix this?
