A more symmetrical nose
It is certainly possible to get the nose symmetrical, but this will require a rhinoplasty to remove the hump and fill in the glabella area with cartilage graft. Once the hump has been removed, osteotomies will need to be performed to give a balanced and symmetrical nasal profile. This is an outpatient surgery and takes about an hour and a half under general anesthesia to perform.

Dorsal hump reduction versus radix augmentation to achieve a straight profile in rhinoplasty
You mentioned that you think that rhinoplasty is risky. Trying to "break" the red, circled part of your nose in attempt to make it swell and become straight is way, way, way riskier. The chances of your nose becoming more deviated and crooked are high, not to mention it's just generally a bad idea.
