I have uneven nostrils and a bump on my right inside nostril. I had a septoplasty 3 years ago. Is this normal? (photo)

You can see the front inside edge is uneven and the bump behind it. The bump goes from the front tip of my nose to the mid portion. It's probably a 1/4 of an inch long and about an 1/8 wide. I can push the bump in on the right side of my nostril but then it bounces back to its original position. I have been to three different ent doctors and they don't know. Please help everyone I talk to notices it immediately! Respectfully, Just want it fixed patient :)
