Do I have a polly beak deformity or just swollen/scarred tip?

22222
I had a rhinoplasty over 2 years ago. Do I have a polly beak deformity or is my tip just too full. I have very thick skin and if I have a polly beak deformity I definitely feel it is a soft tissue and scar tissue problem. Would steroids be an option to reduce the tip? Or fillers to bring my bridge up more so the tip doesn't look as large? I feel the lower bridge might just be giving the illusion of a larger tips so maybe I should fill it in. I want to avoid surgery. Any helpful suggestions?
