Polly beak deformity: from thick skin, scar tissue, elevated bridge, drooping cartilage, or all? (Photo)

Tinelillian
I had a closed rhinoplasty procedure 14 months ago and have developed a polybeak deformity. My surgeon expressed that he wants to do a revision surgery (for free). I'm looking for opinions as to what is causing this deformity. Has my tip dropped bc its lacking support or does it only look droopy bc of the elevated bridge? Is the bulb of my nose still round bc my thick skin heals that way & if so is it safe to to take it in more? Is this a case where simply lowering my bridge will fix all this?
