Options to get rid of nub/bump on the base of my septum?

Ameliacornella
Hi, I have a raised bump/nub at the base of my septum that I would like to get rid of. I've noticed that other people's septum goes down into their philtrum and looks a lot more seamless where's mine just stays there and looks like a bump. I have a long philtrum but I'm 18 so I'm trying to avoid getting a lip lift right now in fear of scarring and it messing up my lip shape and smile. I'm planning on getting a closed nose job in the future but idk if that will resolve my bump on my septum or not.
