It feels as though the cartilage in my nose has become softer since my procedure, my nose feels generally weaker and seems to be affected by gravity nowadays, like when I put my head on the pillow it leans to the side a bit. Is this from my nose job or is it just age?

Without photos and exam- it's impossible to comment accurately. Would be essential to see the photos. Generally speaking, nasal deformities including those caused by cocaine are improvable provided you stop using this drug immediately.
I have
my patients from out of town stay for at least one
week post-op so I can evaluate them and remove the splint and sutures. I make
sure they’re
doing well before they leave. I allow my patients to travel by air 7-10 days
post-op if they
use Afrin spray during take offs and landings.
I would really need to examine you to determine what your options would be. Of course at your age you need parental consent. I have performed rhinoplasty in girls as young as 15, usually a few years older for boys.
