Rhinoplasty options
Based on your photos, you are an excellent candidate for a Rhinopasty. The functional aspects should be addressed at the same time.
I would reduce the hump and elevate the tip to give you a more balanced profile. The septum is most likely the cause of the breathing issues and can be straightened also.
I recommend that you consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is very experienced in Rhinoplasty surgery for and discuss your goals. (Steven L. Ringler, MD, FACS, Grand Rapids Plastic Surgeon)
As the other surgeons have already said all of your issues can be corrected with a cosmetic and functional rhinoplasty. Just find a board certifed plastic surgeon in your area and go forward. I am ceertain you will be very happy with the result. (Frederic H. Corbin, MD, Brea Plastic Surgeon)

Based on your photos, i think you would do well with a rhinoplasty. Correcting your breathing issues would be a high priority as well. Make sure the surgeon you choose is skilled in the functional component of the surgery as well as the cosmetic. A good looking nose that doesn’t work well is a failure. (Matthew Bridges, MD, Richmond Facial Plastic Surgeon)

Standard rhinoplasty techniques in the hands of an experienced Plastic Surgeon should help you arrive at a happier place. (Thomas Trevisani, Sr., MD, Orlando Plastic Surgeon)
Nose Correction
Your nose is straight forward. You would benefit from dorsal hump reduction, narrowing of your bridge, tip reduction, and possibly septoplasty. This is a 3 hour or so surgery best done under general anesthesia. I think this can all be accomplished via a closed rhinoplasty but some may prefer a open rhinoplasty. (George Commons, MD, Palo Alto Plastic Surgeon)

Your concerns are appropriate and your problem is correctable. It is very important that you are treated by a surgeon not only with vast rhinoplasty experience, but also well versed in the evaluation and treatment of nasal obstruction. Which “Board” this doctor is certified by is not important, rather the experience and expertise of the surgeon. (John Frodel, MD, Atlanta Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Rhinoplasty suggestions
It sounds like you would benefit from a rhinoplasty. The first concern would be to improve your breathing, we would need to do a full exam, but you most likely have some deviation of your septum causing some of your breathing issues.
The deviation externally may also be a contributing factor. As far as cosmetic suggestion, it would depend on what you wanted to look different, and which characteristics your wanted to keep.

But just looking at you pictures, I would suggest some hump removal with possibly a small graft above the hump to make it not look so big. Your tip could probably use some definition and rotation meaning that we would elevate your tip so it does not droop like you describe and narrow some of the cartilage. Your would also need some correction of you deviation which may be corrected with the septoplasty, but if not would require repositioning of the bones and cartilage. (Mark Ginsburg, DO, Media Facial Plastic Surgeon)
What should I do about my nose?
You would benefit from a rhinoplasty. I would reduce the hump, lift the droopy tip, narrow the nasal tip, take care of some deviation of your nose to the right and fix whatever septal and turbinate issues that you may have. Performing these steps would make a very significant positive change. (Jonathan Pontell, MD, FACS, Philadelphia Facial Plastic Surgeon)
