2 rhinoplasties, still hate my nose. Can I get a cute, small, straight nose with a refined tip? (Photo)

I’m a 42 year old female and have had 2 rhinoplasties done in Winnipeg, the last one in 2004. I was at the time “ok” with my nose, thought it could be better but when I expressed my concerns to the surgeon he replied that he thought my nose was “a home run.” I have thick skin and feel that my nose has changed size and shape since then, it is much too big for my small face and jaw. All I ever wanted was a cute, small and straight nose with refined tip. Is that even possible?! Thanks so much :)
