Is my nose really big for my face, does it make me look old, and is it worth getting fixed? (Photo)

Asked By:oldlooking89 in Los Angeles, CA

I have wanted a nose job since I was a kid, but I'm not the best judge of my own looks. I feel like it's too big/hooked for my face and that it makes me look older (I'm 25 and people seem to think I am in my thirties, but I have no wrinkles and I use retin-a). However, I have never had any cosmetic procedures so I only want to get a nose job if my nose is actually a big problem- if it's only slightly imperfect, or on the prominent side, that's fine. So, just how bad is it?
