Options for nasal tip hump after rhinoplasty
The hump in the tip can be further refined with a tip-plasty, which will require exploration and adjustments of the nasal tip cartilages. Occasionally, some cartilage will need to be removed. Sometimes the cartilages are sewn together to create more symmetry and occasionally grafts are also added to the nasal tip depending upon the issues.

Undesirable Resulf 1.5 Years after Rhinoplasty
I'm sorry you have problems following your rhinoplasty. You have waited 1.5 years; so the nose will not change significantly in the future. The tip should be narrowed and defined. Cartilage should be added to support your tip and to lift the depressed portion lateral to your central boxy tip. I would also add cartilage to your bridge line to improve the scooped profile. Select an experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeon.

Rhinoplasty
It is always nice to see the pre-ops and the post-ops. Just from the post-ops it looks like the tip is not well supported and the dorsum needs grafting. A full exam is key.

What to Do with the Hump on my Nose Tip After Rhinoplasty?
You have poor tip support, and this is why the tip drops when you smile. Re-supporting the tip with a caudal septal extension graft would solve this.
There is loss of lateral wall support on the tip, causing the pinched look and the square tip appearance. I would recommend grafting the side walls to address this problem.
Lastly, you need augmentation of the dorsum to raise the bridge. Cartilage would be my first choice.
Best of luck,
