Protuberance on one side of nasal tip - Can the numb be corrected to match the other side? (photos)

kiki7600
My nose used to be symmetrical. Over the years I noticed a round bump on the right side of the tip. I thought it could be a cyst but was told by a dermatologist that it was “think skin” which I never had before. It seems like my septum might be deviated as well. I never broke my nose or had any significant trauma. I’m 50 years old. Can the numb be corrected to match the other side od the nose? I also notice a division between left and right side of the tip, like they two sides separated
