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

Question

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.

As I study your photographs, I believe you did receive improvement from your preoperative state with your surgeon. Preoperatively, your nose was blunt with poor tip definition. It was globular and bulbous. I think the surgeon achieved some good projection and definition. The thing to understand is that each side of the nose are not twins; they are sisters. There will be differences from side to side and that goes with everyone and every body part that is bilateral. Sometimes there’s a little more fullness on one side of the nose compared to the other, which is often treated with very low-dose steroid.
