Rhinoplasty and aging? What determines that the nose will stay “stable” as years go by?

I read comments of other people in this website that when the cast was removed they loved their nose, but after years went by some things on their nose started to change. For example, hanging columella or one of the two cartilages moved a little down. What determines that the nose will stay “stable” as years go by? Taking into consideration the individual doesn't have any accident etc. Would a nose that has underwent a rhinoplasty be more prone to a negative change unlike a natural nose?
