What is this bone? Would a septoplasty straighten the outward appearance of my nose and fix the drooping tip? (photo)

Eclectic1055May 19, 2019

My nose is to the left, the bone sticks out and the tip droops. I have a lot of congestion, mucus, difficulty breathing, possibly polyps and I have been referred to ENT. I would love to get it fixed. I have always been very self concious about being different, especially because of a lot of bullying, comments etc. If I had a septoplasty alone, would this straighten the outward appearance of my nose, and even fix the drooping tip?
