What takes in place in widening of the tip? From what I read it seems this is historically difficult problem to have repaired with an exceptional outcome. My tip was pinched after rhino revision, and am looking to bring fullness back to my tip without over doing it, keeping harmony with my face. Is this possible, how hard is the procedure? Thanks in advance.

Your grafts may have shifted or absorbed after the trauma. Best to give it a full year and then reassess the need to perform another revision which would likely require rib grafting
Diced cartilage is a better alternative to rib cartilage as warping could happen with the latter. This procedure is relatively new but done by those who surgeons performing revision rhinoplasty.
It is possible to leave the deviated septum alone. The dorsal hump and poly-beak can be addressed by shaving down the bridge line. A spreader graft will also need to be performed underneath the concave upper lateral cartilage area. For many examples, please see link below
