Do I have an open roof deformity? (photos)

Star21
I had open rhinoplasty 2 years ago. About 6 months ago I noticed a gap on the bridge of my nose, where my hump was shaved off. I recently had my 2 year post op and my surgeon said this is normal to have when you have had rhinoplasty and that it is not an open roof deformity because it is not visible to the eye. However I can see it and it’s noticeable in certain lighting and in some pictures. My surgeon doesn’t believe a revision would help because he believes it’s a minor detail.
