Thinking about a revision

Been nearly 2 years since my rhinoplasty! For the most part I am 70% happy. My nose is a lot better suited to my face than my birth nose however my breathing isn’t great and the shape has changed quite a lot since when I got my cast off.
I’ve seen Dr Ion a few times last year were he put steroid injections near the tip to see if the swelling would go down but I’m starting to think I have build up tissue just above my tip. One side feels like a curve and the other is more straight. It looks like it’s drooping slightly. However I’m happy with my front view it’s mostly just the profile that I’m unhappy with
I have a appointment with Dr Ion in May which is meant to be my last appointment but I will be telling him my concerns and seeing what he thinks. I really wouldn’t want another surgery as the recovery was horrible but at the same time if I’m not completely happy and my breathing isn’t great then maybe I should sort it out? What does everyone think? I need advice please :(

2 months post opp!!

Hi all. So sorry I have been off this for ages and haven't replied to everyones messages. Can't believe its already been 2 months.
I had my first follow up with Lucian about 4 weeks ago. He gave me a steroid injection just above my tip to help with the swelling. Before my follow up I was getting quite worried as both sides of my nose looks different, one was more sloped and the other more straight. I didn't see much of an improvement from the injection till about a week after.
The last few weeks my nose is looking so much better and smaller. I'm am over the moon with everything. Swelling can be a B!! Haha.
Only issue at the moment is Swelling inside my nostrils, It's making my breathing kind of difficult. Will see how this goes over the next couple weeks, if it's still the same I'll send a picture over to Ions office.
I have attached some pictures, I'm not sure why I always take these pics when I come out the shower with wet hair haha please excuse me.

Update of nose 3 weeks po

Nose has gotten smaller from last week and is getting more sloped which I was hoping for. I felt like it was too straight but Dr Ion told me that it will get more sloped once the swelling goes down. Breathing is good and I've been sleeping normally (not straight up) for the past week and had no problems, I just couldn't sleep sitting up anymore lol. I have been taping my nose at night, I'm not sure if it makes a difference but I'm doing it anyways haha
