Visible Indentation on Bridge of Nose After Rhinoplasty? (photo)

Susan1992
I am 2.5 weeks post op i had open rhinoplasty in Sydney, Australia and over the past few days noticed an indent on the right side of the bridge of my nose. I am overall satisfied with the outcome of my nose but I'm worried the indent is permanent and a few people have already pointed it out to me. The skin on top of the indent doesn't move when I slightly massage it, as though the skin is stuck to the bone. Could this be caused by scar tissue pinching the skin? Will I need revision surgery?
