Why is my nose is too pointy after Rhinoplasty?

haybayxo
when i went in for my consultation, i told my doctor that i had really just wanted the tip lifted so it wouldn't droop so much anymore & in the pictures he edited for me, it looked pretty close to what i had wanted. but after the surgery, the tip of my nose seemed really pointy, the tip drooped even more & i suddenly had extremely flared nostrils. is it possible to make the tip "round" again & make my nostrils smaller/not flared? also, it's been almost two years since the surgery.
