The main part of the nose is made of Cartilege, not bone, which gives it some flexibility/movement.

The main part of the nose isn’t bone but cartilage which rots away quicker than bone.

The nose is made of cartilage – like shark’s skeletons – which is gristle not bone. Cartilage, like skin and hair decays much more easily than bone.

The main part of the nose that protrudes from your face is made of cartilage. Very little of your nose is actually bone. Actually, the only part of your nose that is really bone is what you see on a skull.
