Revision rhinoplasty advice - 2 years post primary & not happy (Photos)

I'm 2yrs post op from my primary rhinoplasty and I'm not happy with the results. I originally wanted a smaller version of my nose with tip refinement, but instead I ended up with two different profiles. My right profile sticks out very prominently at an awkward angle, which gives it a fake appearance. I would like to know what could be done to fix my nose so that it somewhat resembles my old nose. I also included below what was done during my procedure as reference.

In our experience, deep alar creases from rhinoplasty may be permanently softened with microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections. If you have no breathing issues, this may be a cost effective solution without downtime. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph

Fillers will not significantly lengthen your nose so this may be of limited use. Ear cartilage is limited and soft so it is also not that useful for lengthening. Rib cartilage would be best option. However, there is pain and scarring from harvesting. Another option is fresh frozen cadaveric...
