Do I have a deviated septum? Is this causing my upper lip to be shorter? It feels as though it's too short now (Photo)

Hi, I have been experiencing breathing issues, the feeling of not being able to get a good breath. This has led me to mouth breathing. An ent did say I have a deviated septum. I am curious if you think I have a deviated septum. Also the cartilage underneath my nose seems excess, is this from the deviated septum? Also would fixing it provide any extra skin for my top lip, since it is already shortened? Hopefully my questions make sense. Thanks so much.
