I think this is the only little chunk …however I don’t have a full photo with bridge removed to see if there are more chunks at the wood

thx for all the answers..! just to clarify things.. the first photos of the collage...the bridge is lifted and the tension created a wave at the finish-top showing at my finger. from the outside side of the bridge the top developed a small belly. i have to say that previous December when the guitar was 3 months old i saw the bridge was being lifted at one side only so i decided to to remove it and reglue it with hot hide glue at my luthier. It was pretty stable all these months so i ignored it...and now it developed this lifting without noticing for second time. So my luthier had to remove it again ...Removing it again it created this chop at the top. now i have to reduce the belly and then reglue it again I am wondering what impact will have all these at sound and structure

i tried to make a collage to check all photos together https://ibb.co/7pgT8wL

Thx for the answer! This sign is BEFORE removing the bridge... It is done by the tension of the lifted bridge! Unfortunately i cannot forum won't allow any more images to see the top without the bridge

Yes i know the guitar is relative new (about 1 year and a half) I always keeps my guitars at controlled humidity and room around 50%. The bridge has started obviously to lift from one side ...and i didn't notice it since it is a new instrument, I decided with my luthier of course to remove the bridge this is the permanent damage that has been made to the top. I can cleary see inside the instrument that there is no damage or something. I cannot understand why this happened to an instrument like this! I have many many gibsons acoustics...but this is the first time that i am experiencing this! any advice?
