Will Repairing my Septum Straighten my Nose on the Outside Too?

giulianisam
I have a deviated septum from a break about 7 years back. I snore and always have a stuffy nose now. I'd like to get my septum repaired for those reasons. However, the outside of my nose is crooked as well and I was wondering if straightening the septum inside of my nose will make the outside appear straighter. If it doesn't, how much extra will I have to pay (estimate) to repair my nose on an aesthetic level?
