Yes it is possible to fix your nose again. In my practice I perform revision cases using a piece of rib cartilage to ensure structural support.

Secondary rhinoplasty can be performed to correct deformities after primary rhinoplasty due to trauma, aging, or general dissatisfaction. Post traumatic movement often occurs in athletes who may have had prior nasal surgery as a young child or adult and then had additional injuries due to activity or sports. This can be treated with revision rhinoplasty surgery but the complexity, time, and recovery are all increased as the number of procedures increase.
Trust your face with a craniofacial surgeon!

Much more information is needed, such as the timeline on when you had your previous rhinoplasty, and a full set of facial photograph from all angles. A copy of the operative report would also be helpful information as well. A revision rhinoplasty is more difficult than a primary rhinoplasty, so it's important to have realistic expectations because you've not only had one previous surgery, but now you've had trauma to the nose.
