What happens to your nose decades after getting a nose job? How does rhinoplasty hold up over long periods of time?

EmmysShnoz
I don't know if it is pseudo-science, but I've heard that the nose and ears change over time as you get older. It got me wondering how a rhinoplasty would hold up over time 10, 20, 50 years later after the procedure. Does the nose still change/ get bigger as you get older like it would've? Is there maintenance down the road after you get rhinoplasty, like revisions? Thank you for your time and knowledge!
