There is no at-home remedy, but many scams exist.
There is no at-home remedy for reshaping the adult nose. There are, however, several nonsense products that claim to be able to reshape the nose. They generally consist of overpriced clamps and clips and other garbage. One need only Google a little bit to find such devices as "Nose Huggies."

You probably need a rhinoplasty
Without seeing photos, it's hard to tell what specific maneuvers you require. That being said, there is no nonoperative method of reducing excessive nasal cartilage. Even if there were a "risky-but-possible" home method to correct excessive, asymmetric nasal cartilage, no responsible physician could recommend it.
Best of luck.
