Question

Can you have an open roof deformity without having rhinoplasty done? I never had a nose procedure done in my life, yet I think I have an open roof deformity / dent which I think gets worse while aging. I'm now 35 years old and I feel like it looks worse in time. Is it called an open roof deformity if you never ever had rhinoplasty done? And how to correct this? Fillers an option?

Thank you for your question. 
By definition, an open roof deformity is caused by a rhinoplasty procedure, but I see what you have on the bridge (or dorsum) of your nose. This is a deficiency in the bone and is part of your anatomy. 
Fillers can help in this areas, but remember: Fillers in the nose should only be performed by an experienced injector as this is a high risk area. Rhinoplasty would permanently improve the nasal contour. 
Best of luck!
