Revision rhinoplasty for asymmetrical indentation (photos)

Hi I had a reduction rhinoplasty about a year and a half ago to reduce the length of my nose. It’s now more indented on one side. Im considering a revision. I’m also not quite happy with the shape of my nose it became much wider after this operation. I’m trying to decide if I should only correct the dent, correct the dent and further shape my nose, or leave it alone together. Thanks
