Hanging Columella, Deviated Septum, Breathing Problems. What Do You Recommend? (photo)

I dont want to tamper with my nose eg. make it big or small or what ever. I just want it fixed to normal if that makes sense. More symmetrical. I'll post some pictures i think it'll explain things a lot better than i can. How much am i looking to pay for the surgery?
