Based on your photos, you appear to be a suitable candidate for Rhinoplasty Surgery.
I read your concern and reviewed your photos. You appear to have a bulbous, droopy tip, and a profile hump. Your tip is off the midline as well. You should consult several certified, reputable rhinoplasty specialists to see what you could achieve after well-performed Rhinoplasty Surgery.
I hope this is helpful for you.

Broken nose
You seem like a good candidate for nasal surgery. First I think you did the correct thing which is to address you jaw issue first. Once this is addressed and stable you could be a good candidate for nasal surgery. Costs can vary and I would recommend an evaluation to get a better understanding of your specific injuries and breathing issues.

Rhinoplasty to Improve Form and Function
It looks like you have a large experience with facial surgery. You will need to gear yourself up again for this type of surgery. The main goal of this surgery is to have the nose work correctly. The next goal is that it looks as good as it can. Often we can do both. Noses can be difficult as they are a mix of many tissues, (bone, cartilage, thick skin, thin skin, etc).

Rhinoplasty will improve both breathing and appearance
Based on your history and photographs, rhinoplasty surgery can help accomplish both goals that you are after - improved nasal breathing and appearance. Look for physicians who specialize in rhinoplasty surgery.

Goals with nasal surgery
It is certainly possible to combine both cosmetic and breathing concerns with one surgery, and from your pictures, you would I believe be a good candidate for a rhinoplasty (and if you have trouble breathing; likely a septorhinoplasty), I would make sure you are more or less through with your sports activities that may be more likely to injure your nose, and seek consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon or ENT; if possible a "double-boarded" person would likely have the...

Nose is crooked and most likely was broken
First, IMHO...are you emotionally ready form another surgery at this point after what you've just been through? From your photos, it seems quite clear that your nose has an S-shaped, crooked, shape consistent with nasal fractures from trauma. A Rhinoplasty with osteotomies to break the nasal bones, moving them to the midline combined with making the bridge lower and the tip smaller...would indeed improve the appearance of the nose.
Two points to leave you with for...

Improve function and appearance of nose with rhinoplasty
I am a firm believer that no rhinoplasty surgery should sacrifice the function of the nose. The concerns you describe can be addressed with surgery.
Consulting with at least a couple experienced rhinoplasty surgeons to see what results are possible. I perform computer morphing with my patients to simulate possible changes. I find this an invaluable part of the consultation process. Examining the inside of your nose will allow the surgeon to assess whether septal surgery...
