How and when Does the Nose Collapse After Rhinoplasty?

ZyzzMisc
I saw collapsed noses in before pics of rhinoplasty revision pics. How did this happen? Can I have a good nose for months , then it suddenly/gradually collapse? Or the collapse happens during the surgery. I am sorry for being a little paranoid and obsessive , but its a really difficult experience for me during the first weeks post-op.
