Is it normal that my nose bridge is movable?

Asked By:pearlescentclouds in Los Altos, CA

I had a rhinoplasty done three months ago, in which silicone was used to raise the bridge and ear cartilage was used to raise the tip. I've noticed the bridge recently has started to "lean" towards the right, and as a result, I could move the bridge slightly from left to right and vice versa. Is this normal? What could cause this issue?
