Gap Between Nasal Bone and Implant on Bridge of Nose, Will I Need a Revision?
Hello. I am about a month post-op and have a gap between where my gortex implant ends and where my nasal bone starts (on the bridge of my nose) creating a dent that is both palpable and visually seen. Will this gap seal over time or will a revision/fillers be needed? Thank you.

You may be a candidate for an Injectable Filler procedure to fill the gap above your GoreTex nasal implant.
I read your concern, and it's tough to advise you without a photo at this early stage following your rhinoplasty surgery. A visible gap above your GoreTex nasal implant may be improved by an Injectable Filler procedure. My personal preference is to use Silikon-1000, an off-label filler for permanent results. In my view, you should reserve revision rhinoplasty as a last resort.

Gap In the Naso-Frontal angle

It would be best to see you or good pictures. But, from what you say i agree that a revision is probably needed. Consider Radiesse as a filler quick fix if you surgeon agrees
