Having broken my too large nose on the side of a swmming pool at age 12, I waited until I was 21 to have a rhinoplasty which fixed the deviated septum and shortened my nose. I cannot tell you what a confidence builder that was.
I agree with Colleen. Go investigate what is involved and then make your decision as to whether to go through with the surgery. If it really bothers you and you have a good surgeon, I'd go for it.
Take care,
Eileen
