Rhinoplasty Sutures Are Bleeding After Cleaning

September 23, 2010
Asked By:Alicia1986

I just got rhinoplasty 5 days ago and Ive been reading online about cleaning the nose with Q tips.. Unfortunately, I think I may have damaged my nose. there is no excessive bleeding but while I was cleaning my nose with Q tips along the side of my nostrils with warm water, I noticed red blood on the cotton bud. It is not excessive and it didn't trickle or anything - its still in place but I'm scared that I may have damaged my nose Any help is really appreciated !
