Well-performed Rhinoplasty Surgery may be employed to reduce your profile hump, and rotate your droopy tip.

Nose Surgery Can Improve Your Concerns
As one ages, one typically loses tip support. As the tip drops the hump becomes accentuated. Removing the hump and rotating or lifting the tip slightly not only improves the problems that you were born with but also the aging changes as well. Good luck!

Rhinoplasty to improve appearance of nose
The rhinoplasty procedure involves removing a dorsal hump, which is composed of both bone and cartilage. Once this has been performed, osteotomies will be required to narrow the nasal bones and close the open roof. Lifting the tip can be accomplished with a combination of techniques that elevate the caudal septum. Narrowing and refinement of the tip is performed with tip suturing techniques or cartilage removal, or a combination of both. The rhinoplasty procedure is...

Nose Type
Leptorrhine noses have high dorsal bridges and relatively narrow alar bases. Usually, the cartilaginous support anatomy is helpful for future rhinoplasty!

Rhinoplasty suggestions
I would also add that your tip is under-projected, and you have a parenthesis deformity. I would recommend adding cartilage to the side walls to prevent collapse or a pinched appearance if you decide on rhinoplasty surgery.

You also possibly have a low radix
My colleagues have provided alot of very accurate answers. The only point I will add is that from the limited photos you've provided it appears that the upper-most portion of your nasal bridge is low. While the bump on the bridge needs to be reduced, you will likely also require a small cartilage graft to build up the radix and provide a straight nasal profile. This is commonly performed as part of a rhinoplasty or septorhinoplasty. I hope this information is helpful.

Rhinoplasty
From the image that you have presented you would, by aesthetic ideals, require reduction of the nasal hump (bone and cartilage), cephalic trims, and a columellar strut. More images would be necessary to be complete, but hopefully this helps you to find your answer.
Be healthy and be well,

Rhinoplasty Surgery
A rhinoplasty operation will reduce the size of your nasal hump and elevate your hanging tip. Additional pictures would be helpful. Go to my website for advice on what pictures to submit for a complete nasal evaluation.

What Type of Nose Do I Have?
Aesthetically speaking, your nose has a large dorsal hump with a nasal tip that is under-rotated making it appear long. A closed Rhinoplasty to remove the nasal hump (will require breaking the bones in order to close the open roof) as well as rotating the nasal tip. I can't see the front of the nose to tell if the tip should be thinned as well during the Rhinoplasty. If so, this would be done as well.

You have a nose that needs in person evaluation/examination. Best to see a boarded rhinoplasty surgeon in your city. Over the internet with ONLY a side view posted very hard to give detailed responses. Best of luck

Rhinoplasty
Your posted photo shows a dorsal hump and a tip that points forward and downward. The limited view of the photo does not allow for assessment of any deviation. Removing the hump and trimming the upper edge of the tip cartilage will make the nose shorter and less droopy.

Upturned nose
Based on your photo, your nose can be turned up to provide a better position. You might have to release this very small muscle in your lip that pulls the tip down when you smile. The profile can be lowered to a straight line by modifying your cartilage and bone. I hope that this helps you out.
