Why is my nose running 3 months after lip lift?

Asked By:msmichelle in 39759

I had a lip lift three months ago and the day after surgery I started dripping clear watery type fluid out of my nose from both nostrils. It seems to only leak when I bend over. Is it normal to have runny nose after this surgery. My doctor told me at first it was just inflammation in my nose.
