What Can I Do About my Wide Nose? Will It Cost a Lot? (photo)

I'm 18 years old, I have and will always dislike my nose so I have decided that I want to get rhinoplasty to boost my self confidence.

My nose is very wide & even wider when I smile. I think the problem is my bridge but I do need a second opinion. Please help!!!
