Post rhinoplasty bleeding

It all depends on the extent of the bleeding. Small amounts are common with healing mucosa. If it is more pronounced there could be a vessel that may need treatment. Use nasal saline to control drying and crusting. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.

Post-rhinoplasty bleeding

It really depends upon the extent of bleeding. Often this is due to crusting. However, your doctor should have coverage while he is out of town. If the bleeding is severe, then you may want to consider a trip to the ER.

Bleeding

If you van control the bleeding please do so. This may only represent some latent crusts sloughing off. My experience with er docs gettinginto post op rhinoplasty issues is not good
