How to Fix my Nose?

Hey Im fed up looking at my nose and would like to get it fixed with surgery maybe. Im 24 and male. Got a huge scar on the left side from a fall as a child, also broke it about 3 years ago in a bar fight and got a second scar. I wasnt at fault. I hate the bumps on the sides, also hate the dents in the middle of the nose when looking head on. I would like a smoother more pleasing nose. How could i best achieve this? Thanks in advance
