Thank you for your question and for providing photos. You are likely a candidate for revision rhinoplasty to improve the appearance of the nasal tip while addressing the overall symmetry.
Please keep in mind that each subsequent nose surgery becomes more complex due to loss of structural support and scar tissue. The importance of experience, expertise, and artistry cannot be overstated. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, with expertise in rhinoplasty techniques. They will be able to conduct a more thorough physical exam and review your surgical history to make the best suggestion on how to proceed.

Good Afternoon! Sorry that you're experiencing trouble after your rhinoplasty. I can see what you're referring to at your tip. Often times, this is bulbous and convex cartilage which needs to be repositioned and flattened. If the area feels like swelling, a steroid injection may help to reduce the fullness. Compressions as well can help. A revision procedure certainly can make improvements if done carefully. If you haven't discussed your concerns with your surgeon, perhaps revisit them. Hope that helps!

Hello and thank you for your question. 
On revision rhinoplasties, tip reshaping is possible, with the use of your own rib cartilage grafts. These grafts are cut in different pieces and sizes resembling nose cartilages that provide the structure of your new tip.

Hello dear, 
Seems like you are a good candidate for revision rhinoplasty. Tip of your nose could have been done with more attention and care. The bone structure looks good so I don't think it needs correction but I can't say the same thing for the tip. If you can pick a good surgeon, I'm sure you will love your results and the nose will be in harmony with the rest of your face.
Be safe, be happy
