Blood Clot on Stitches?

June 8, 2013
Asked By:germangirl1990 in Los Angeles, CA

I had rhinoplasty four days ago. There's blood on tape on collumela, and one nostril has a lot of dried blood on. I'm not bleeding anymore, but the hard dried blood is present inside and around my nose (although I clean it when it is too outside). Will this dried blood on stitches and collumela result in bad results ?

Doctor Removed Tampons the Next Day After Surgery. Too Soon?
Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS says:

Every surgeon has his/her preference when it comes to packing.  Many surgeons, myself included, do not use packing or tampons at all.  Some oozing is normal the day after surgery, but if there is extensive bleeding you should follow up immediately with your surgeon.
