Bleeding & Dryness Following Rhinoplasty

Chronic nasal bleeding and dryness is not normal 10 mos. after Rhinoplasty Surgery.

You may consider consulting a reputable ENT specialist, or facial plastic surgeon to diagnose the cause of your nasal bleeding and dryness. This may only require nasal saline lubricating gel to be applied with a Q-tip as needed. An in-office cauterization with topical anesthetic may be helpful. You'll want to have your surgeon check for a septal perforation as a cause of both issues. All the best from NJ
