Is there a surgery to lift the nose tip as I think my drooping nose is making it hard to breathe? (Photos)

Crescenza
It feels hard to breathe through my nose. When I pinch the skin on my bridge + lift, thus generally lifting up the nasal structures, it's easier to breathe. (I do not have a deviated septum or sinus infections or anything like that. Everything in my respiratory system is normal.) I have extremely thick nasal skin, so I'm not comfortable w. pursuing a trad rhinoplasty unless it would help specifically with this. Is there a surgery that just lifts the tip so I can be more comfortable? Thank you!
