Thanks for the question.1.  I do not believe this is a saddle nose deformity based on your pics but only a detailed exam can tell for sure.2.  Second, a septoplasty will not change the shape of your nostril nor will filing down your dorsum.  Likely, your nostrils were always asymmetric, as in most people.  You probably notice it a lot more since you have paid much more attention to your nose since the injury.3.  Swelling is probably is normal, but best to see your doctor to make sure.
