Can a pit in the nasal bone regrow or can it be closed?

Thorsten123
I have a hole in the bone/nasal bridge after surgery 5 month ago. Its a pit where he removed a hump.I do feel the edges of each side.Its not visible,as long as there is some water in it from swelling.Doc says that there is still bone under the pit. When I take a deep breath,it tingles.Can the bone close the pit by itself?Will this pit get bigger and cause problems?Can I do anything to make the bone regrow?How can this be fixed/when is the right time to fix it?Can a bone transplant fix theissue?
