Can nasal tip & pollybreak be fixed without addressing crooked septum in revision surgery? (photo)

sheldon99
Hi, I'm 34. At 17 I got my dorsal hump removed as well as excess cartilage on the sides, however the tip fell back down and the S-shaped septum was unsuccessfully repaired. Tip looks "witchlike". Tip juts to one side and is irregularly shaped, droops somewhat, I am aware it relates to the crooked septum. Based on my pics, can the tip be at least reshaped and lifted or trimmed down? Can it be straightened? I keep reading that a crooked septum is too hard to fix. Thanks for your time and expertise.
