I've never had any damage done to my nose, but my nose, I think the cartilage, appears to be misshapen and uneven. I was wondering what the cause could be? Or what I could do to change it?

Answer: Rhinoplasty for the bulbous tip and bump, etc.
Dear maeby,
Placing a graft in the columella will make it come lower
There are also ways to lift the nostril to show more of the columella

Your nasal bridge is not too narrow or pinched, it is that the rest of your nose is too wide. A rhinoplasty that narrows your tip area will bring the whole nose in better balance and the bridge will no longer look pinched. Computer imaging will demonstrate that effect so you can see for yourself...
You should be fine resuming full cardio and weight-training exercise one month out from your rhinoplasty. The only limitations at this point would usually be to exclude activities where you might injure nasal bones which are not completely healed for another few weeks.
