Does septoplasty affect dorsal hump?

bb30
After a consultation I have been told that I would benefit from septoplasty and turbinectomy however my dorsal hump was not adressed sadly as he made it clear this was not cosmetic and simply to improve my airway. Because of my deviated septum my nose leans to the side creating a dorsal hump would septoplasty reduce this? If not would I need to go private for dorsal hump removal and how much would this cost roughly in the UK?
