I'm not sure what exactly you're asking, but I can tell you I have no cartilage save the very top of my nose and it works fine.. you can literally push it down entirely flat on to my face! I'm 18 and have never had a problem without the cartilage. Reply to Above: I'm 13 and I have the same problem. I believe it is genetics because my mother has the same thing and she's 47. At first it was there but now there isn't, which is kind of weird. I'm sure there is no problem too.
It is cartilage until you get to the top of your bridge
I believe it is the stuff that makes your nose flexible. Move around your nose cartilage makes your nose able to do this.
Cartilage is the tissue that makes the tip of your nose flexible

There IS a nose bone, in fact it's called the nasal bone at the top of the nose. It's a short bone that doesn't extend the length of the nose. At the end of the nasal bone is where the cartilage starts. You can find anatomical pictures on google for a visual.
Cartilage is more flexible then bone, so it's better for the ears and nose.
There is not anything that can be done to reduce the cartilage growth in the nose. Surgery can remove or move the cartilage, but it cannot be made smaller.
