My Nose has a gap in the cartilage but also have a deviated septum, would a septoplasty and turbinate reduction reduce the gap?

E908
Okay so I feel like I worded my question wrong next time so I will do it correctly this time. I got hit by a metal door as a kid and that caused me to have a deviated septum and my nostrils are too small and they were not like this before. Furthermore my nose has developed a gigantic dent in the cartilage and for some reason it's growing at an alarming rate. I was wondering if a septoplasty and nasal turninate reduction would also reduce the catilage in my gap and over all fix some of the issues
