In the experienced hands of a rhinoplasty specialist your chances of requiring a revision rhinoplasty procedure for a bulbous, rounded nasal tip are quite low. There are a variety of factors that go into the equation, which can all influence whether or not a secondary rhinoplasty surgery is needed. For example, if you have fairly thick skin, this can be a limiting factor in terms of how much definition you ultimately see in the tip region. If this type of skin does not shrink wrap down to the new shape of the underlying cartilage, a revision procedure may be warranted to try and achieve even more definition. By seeking out a rhinoplasty expert in your region, this type of issue and others can be addressed in advance of your surgery so that a realistic expectation can be established.

There are definitely rhinoplasty maneuvers that can be used to rotate a tip down. Some are simple and some are not. It depends on the degree of over-rotation, the skin, available grafting material, what was done in previous surgery, etc. Take a look at my photos in Realself...
I'm sorry you are unhappy but am a little confused about what your goal/problem was. You mention waiting your tip lifted but are asking for your "hang" back. Is the nose tip to rotated now? If so that may still be swelling. Certainly thngs can be done but the most important problem to solve is...
I have performed Rhinoplasty for over 20 years and IMHO, it would be unrealistic to think the rib graft could be shaved exactly 1mm. The strut can certainly be removed and if you're already having a revision Rhinoplasty to do that, it does make sense to try and decrease the rib...
