Don't want surgery, can I fix my nose myself?

prombom17
I can't breathe through my right nostril. I really can't handle the idea of surgery, but I really can't handle the idea of having to wake up with this awful, blocked nostril for the rest of my life. If my nasal septum is pushed to the right of my nose, can I push it back without breaking? my doctor said it was the cartilage was deformed. So can't I gently push on my nose and move my septum back into the middle without breaking it if cartilage is malleable? Will this help my breathing over time AT ALL?
