Bleeding after rhinoplasty external splint removal?

Question

I had my external splint removed after 7 days of my rhinoplasty surgery. I think the doctor pulled on the skin because I started bleeding on both nostrils for several hours. The doctor said this was okay. Should I be concerned?

I think the best thing to do would be to contact your surgeon's office if you are concerned.	Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Hard to know without seeing you but maybe the skin was just a little sensitive. If the bleeding is external that is most likely the issue. If the bleeding is internal it is totally normal to have bleeding this early. Patients can bleed months out from dryness as well.
