I am 16 and have hated my nose since I was little. I have a dorsal hump and my nose slighty curves downward creating a hook. My nose also droops down and overall doesn't go well with my face. Also, I know I have a deviated septum as well as I have some difficulty breathing which I want fixed. Overall,I am pleased with my nose from the front, but hate my profile.
