I'm so upset. I am 11 months post open rhinoplasty to correct several problems (crooked septum, droopy tip, hanging columella and alar retraction). My nose is still crooked and looks like it has been smushed to one side and my nostrils are still too large, but I can live with those issues. I CANNOT live with the lumpy asymmetrical tip from what I presume is poor placement of cartilage. Can the appearance of the lumps be minimized with filler? I really don't want another surgery so soon. Help!

Unless someone did a very bad job anchoring your grafts, this should not impact or re-bend your nose, esp if you had rib cartilage used (pretty hardy).
I would recommend seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon (with a 6 year integrated plastic surgery residency and The Aesthetic Society accredited aesthetic fellowship) for a consultation. I would recommend a physical exam in person to further evaluate what is going on with the nose.
It's essential to consult with experienced rhinoplasty specialists for a comprehensive evaluation. While some asymmetry is natural, persistent and noticeable differences may be addressable through revision rhinoplasty. Seek opinions from reputable surgeons who specialize in revision procedures...
