Can a Septoplasty Alone Correct Nasal Valve Collapse and Appearance? (photo)

I have been told that I have a significant caudal nasal septal deviation to the left with complete dislocation of all but my most anterior septum off of the maxillary crest into the left nostril. This had caused not only a functional problem of reduced airflow but also both internal and external nasal valve collapse and a loss of the shape of my nostrils. Will a septoplasty alone restore both functional and aesthetic characterstics to my nose or will i require spreader and or alar batton grafts.
