After 4 septorhinoplasties, nose is taking on a c shaped look. What can I do about it from a cosmetic stand point? (Photo)

I've undergone 4 septorhiniplastys now and I'm finally at a point where I'm breathing so much better. However my nose always takes on this odd c shape. It always looks fine for a while after surgery but then eventually it will go back to its originally shape. I'm wondering what I can do to correct the c shaped look on the right side. I've considered fillers.

Thank you Skyyylar for your message and for the photos.  I can definitely see how markedly upturned your nose looks but it is a little difficult to fully assess the alar base and nostril shape from the single view I could see.  But, pushing the tip down should not only make the nostrils less v...

First of all, a bulbous droopy tip needs to be narrowed and elevated -- sometimes elevated a lot -- and that involves complicated work on the cartilages that form the tip of the nose. A plumping graft wouldn't bring the tip up or narrow it at all. And if your tip is really droopy, the plumper...
