Can Burst Blood Vessels Occur After Rhinoplasty?

Question

Hello can burst blood vessels occur after rhinoplasty surgery?

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

Because of inflammation this is a normal accompaniment of rhinoplasty, nosebleeds may become more common. Report these to your surgeon.

Dear Belonni,

	
		It depends on where you are talking about
	
		If the blood vessel bursts in the nose, then you can get a nosebleed
	
		On the outside of the nose, you may see spider veins or just increased blood flow to the area as it heals
	
		If you have any concerns, please bring them up to your surgeon


	Best regards,

Does your question refer to the nose itself?  Small surface blood vessels can burst after rhinoplasty causing some redness. Inside the nose, a blood vessel bursting causes a nosebleed. 

	I hope this helps.
