Don't be scared! I'm 53 now and had rhinoplasty when I was 26, which I'd put off doing from age 14. It's the best thing I ever did!
The most important thing is to make sure the doctor who does it is absolutely reputable. Check him/her out online and/or in peer-reviewed journals. My doctor was a member of hospital staff of a very renowned teaching hospital. Also, he was not just a plastic surgeon but was also an ENT (ear, nose, throat) specialist, so I trusted him completely. Also check references from other/former patients.
I have to be honest and say that it did hurt during the surgery at one point (I won't go into detail in case you're squeamish!), but that was fixed immediately. I did stay overnight at the hospital and I'm glad I did, because I was sick a lot from the painkillers and sedatives. I was sore the next day, but honestly the worst part was the feeling of being really, really congested from all the packing they put up your nose. But once he took that out, it was a real relief and I felt MUCH better! After that it was merely a matter of healing. I did have black eyes and looked pretty bruised, but that lasted no more than a week, iirc.
You need to know that you won't see the full, total results for several months to a year. But I can tell you that you will see a big difference right away! I was like you and hated my nose, it was too big, but I also liked the rest of my face. I had so many people tell me not to do it ("You're fine the way you are", "It's the way God made you", etc.), but it was an older family member who finally convinced me. She'd wanted to have her nose fixed but let everyone talk her out of it, and by the time she talked with me she felt she was too old (in her 60s by then) and wished she had done it when she was younger.
Yes, it it painful, but the pain doesn't last. No, it is not dangerous as long as you make sure you have a reputable, professional surgeon. Make sure you do your research!
As an aside, I didn't get to "choose" my nose. I told my doctor that I wanted a "cute little cheerleader nose". He'd taken "before" photos of me, and showed me on the photos what he would change (this was before digital photography lol!), showing me that the kind of nose I wanted wouldn't suit the rest of my facial features and would actually look odd on me. He really knew what he was doing and was completely honest with me.
I can say, 27 years later, it's one of the best things I've done for myself and had a positive impact on my self-esteem and self-image. Did it make me perfectly beautiful? Of course not, but I didn't expect it to. I expected it to help me to be a better "me", that's all. And it sounds like that's what you're after...just a relatively small improvement on something you already like the rest of. Go for it, and good luck!
