Large nasal spine/caudal septum cartilage? What can be done? (photos)

Troypg1220
Okay so my whole life I've deal with my terrible nose... based off what I've read I've concluded that it is due to an overgrown nasal spine/ excess septum cartilage. So my question is what can be done to correct the angle between my lip and my nose? If the excess bone and cartilage is removed will the skin move up into place or will it still hang and what is the name for the deformity?? Thanks in advance.
