There are a few things to consider with the nose bleed: How heavy was the bleeding? How long did it last? Did any trauma occur to potentially cause the bleeding? If it was a small amount of blood for a short period of time without trauma, it could be simply due to dry nasal mucosa which may benefit from nasal saline spray. Since there are many possible factors, it is best if you contact your surgeon to discuss the details further.
Nasal swelling is a process. For this reason, patients should continue to follow up as post procedure care can help limit swelling and decrease chance of scar tissue from occuring. Noses need at least a year to heal.
Dear Samantha, It is not uncommon for patients to have spider veins on the nose and these can be treated. I would however suggest that you have the veins corrected after the rhinoplasty surgery. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
Dear Elizavard, "No" excessive bleeding is not normal seven days post rhinoplasty surgery. See your surgeon for a follow up appointment as he/she knows best what techniques were used during your procedure and what your expected recovery should be. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
