Can a nose job fix breathing problems? (photos)

kbratx3
My nose feels stuffy on one side all the time despite not having a cold. When I look inside my nose it seems to be uneven on one side. Could this be causing the stuffy feeling and wheezing sound when I breathe? Also, would insurance cover this procedure?
