How can I tell if my cartilage in my nose has collapsed?

It would be helpful to know how long ago you had your rhinoplasty. As the nose heals after rhinoplasty, various factors contribute to the overall appearance and feel of the nose. There may be scar tissue that is developing or if grafts were placed then these may be more palpable as the swelling goes down. It is best to return back to your rhinoplasty surgeon so they can have a look and address any additional concerns you have with your nose. Hope this helps and best of luck. 

Dear Jadon abr, An examination would be needed to determine if your nasal cartilages are collapsed. Without history, photographs or further explanation (i.e. past surgery) it is impossible to to help with any diagnosis. Please feel free to repost with these explanations and/or photographs.
