Is this dent/gap a problem or is it normal in the healing process? (Photos)

Asked By:eva.bliss in NC

2 months post-rhinoplasty, and there’s a dent/gap on my nose bridge. I had an open rhinoplasty on Dec 17, 2018. In the pictures, you can see a “dent” on the right side of my nose bridge. It feels like a gap between my nasal bone and the bridge. It’s sensitive and becomes uncomfortable when I laugh or yawn and it’s very noticeable in some lighting. Also, when I run my finger down my bridge, it feels uneven. I will be talking to my surgeon as I have an appointment later this month, but I thought I’d come here in the meantime. Did I do something wrong while healing?
