Upturned nose after rhinoplasty - Can it be brought back down to previous angle? (photos)

revisionrhinosearch_90degree
I had a rhinoplasty performed and had only requested for my nasal hump to be removed (2.5mm was taken off) and I had asked for narrowing of my bridge. I am happy with both those aspects of my surgery, however, my nose tip was lifted and now is on an upwards angle. My nose tip was also shorted via shortening of the anterior septum by 1.5mm.. no grafts were used and 6.5mm of LLC remain. Can my nose be counter rotated down and projected to waht I had before or closer to a 90 degree downward/angle
