If you have finished growth, a rhinoplasty may be appropriate but you will need parental consent.  This is a delicate matter that will require some open dialogue.Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds  
of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year.  Then look at the 
 plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a   
sense of who can deliver the results. 	Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

From the photo you have submitted it appears that you might benefit from a rhinoplasty and chin augmentation to create more balance in your face. The appearance of your nose though should not have anything to do with your grades and perhaps if you got all "A's" you could use that to convince your parents as a reward to allow you to see a PS with the idea of surgery in the future. Good Luck!
