You are correct to wait until you are fully developed. If you are a female usually be 16 or 17 guys a bit older like 18 or so.

It would very important for you to have an in-person consultation with your parent or legal guardian.

Rhinoplasty can improve the appearance of the nose, but I would need to see photos of you to give you proper advice.
