Am I a Candidate for Rhinoplasty? (photo)

I am 16 years old and am considering getting a rhinoplasty. My nose bridge has a slight bump and the sides of it don't seem noticeable, when I smile the tip of my nose droops and the sides spread. When I see my nose in pictures it seems to overpower my small face. The tip at a frontal view is very round. I feel that I am a good candidate for a rhinoplasty, I would be doing it for myself, please let me know what procedure , if any, could benefit the appearance of it. Thank you.
