Nose too big and excess nostril show, plus asymmetry - Options? (photos)

dragon95
I had a rhinoplasty before but I’m not really satisfied with the results: The tip of my nose looks way too big and I have excess nostril show. Also, there’s a genetic difference between my two profiles, on the left side my columella show is 6-7 mm, while on the right it’s 8-9 mm! I read it should normally be about 2-4 mm. I attached some photos. Do I also have alar retraction? Can these be fixed somehow, if yes, how? Can I ever have a symmetrical nose? Thank you.
