Is it possible for the nose to become softer with age or from rhinoplasty?

Rebecca Chambers
It feels as though the cartilage in my nose has become softer since my procedure, my nose feels generally weaker and seems to be affected by gravity nowadays, like when I put my head on the pillow it leans to the side a bit. Is this from my nose job or is it just age?
