Pointed nasal tip when smiling. Is there any way to make my tip not drop so much when I smile? (photos)

Greensight82605
Underwent revision rhinoplasty for drooping, sharp nasal tip when smiling. Surgeon insisted septum trim not necessary, he simply lifted the tip and trimmed columella. Now when I smile the nasal tip is sharp and pointy almost exactly as it was after initial surgery. My alar wings go up really high when I smile, which is why I think it must be a long septum causing such a prominent sagging nasal tip. Is there any way to make my tip not drop so much when I smile? It looks really masculine when I do
