Scab came off and left an indent (alarplasty - rhinoplasty). Will I be left with this indent forever?

Hi, I got an alarplasty for my nose. The scab around the incision made at the bottom of my nostril came off and it left an “indent” in my nostril where the flesh doesn’t come together 100%. I drew a picture because my camera wasn’t able to pick it up. Will the flesh ever come together and heal or will I be left with this “indent” forever?
