Huge Bumps Each Side of my Nose. I Suspect That It's Because I Have Broken my Nose Several Years Ago when I Was a Child?

If the bumps on either side of the nose are firm, they may represent broken nasal bones that healed in an irregular fashion. I couldn't say for sure without seeing and/or feeling them. A rhinoplasty would be able to address this concern.

The nasal bones would likely be broken during the surgery in such a manner to reestablish an improved nasal contour.

Large bumps on the side of the nose are usually related to nasal trauma where the junction of the bone and cartilage comes together. Shaving down cartilage and filing down bone in this area will help alleviate the bump. Medial and lateral osteotomies will also be required on the nasal bones in this area.
