Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you are a good candidate for a revision rhinoplasty.  Maneuvers for your surgery would include nasal tip deprojection and placement of a mastoid fascia tip graft to provide a smoother tip contour. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Microdroplet Silikon-1000 nasal injections may be considered for camouflaging visible tip cartilage after previous rhinoplasty. It can also help with nostril retraction and with restoring nostril margin asymmetry. An examination would be necessary to determine your candidacy. Hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

It appears that you have developed nasal bossae , those are likely alar cartilage protuberances . unfortunately to correct the issue you will likely need a revision rhinoplasty.I hope this helps, best of luck!
