How Difficult is It to Fix Broken Nose Tip?

Rebecca11
4 years ago, I was in an car accident hitting my nose (bottom/tip area) very hard. I didn't think it was broken at the time; the bone felt straight and I had no bleeding at all (but a lot of swelling.) A few years later, I can see that the tip of the nose definitely goes off to the right side a little in a face-on view. It seems I must have displaced/broken the cartilage of the lower nose (septum?) without breaking the upper part or bone. How difficult would this be to fix? Thank you!
