Why is my nose running 3 months after lip lift?

Question

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.

Jeffrey H. Spiegel, MD · Answer

Michelle,It's unlikely that the runny nose is related to the surgery.  I suppose you could possibly have a stitch or something irritating your nose, but this is very unlikely.  Could it be a reaction to a medication?  A pet?  An allergy?

Malcolm D. Paul, MD · Answer

No, leakage of fluid after the first day or two is not normal.  Have your surgeon check the inside of your nose to determine where this is coming from.
