It is difficult to evaluate the nose with only one close up view. The things you are asking can be better determined by multiple views. Usually an over rotated tip can be brought down some, though it can be a difficult procedure. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation.

Hello @shshshshshshshshs thank you for your question. I suggest to generate a surgical plan to perform a new remodeling, in which the entire nasal structure is taken in to account in its relationship with the overall face to achieve harmony in the new result. For more information and recommendations is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS
