Where my dorsal hump used to be is now very soft and squishy. I am worried about a possible development of inverted V deformity

I had a closed rhinoplasty done that resulted in shaving down the dorsal hump on my nose and slightly lifting the tip. However, ever since the cast came off when I run my finger down the bridge of my nose, the spot where my hump used to be feels soft and squishy and dips in when even minor pressure is applied. The top of my nose and the bottom both feel strong and bony like they did before the surgery. Is this normal? Why does that one spot now feel so squishy? Should I worry?
