Doctor Removed Tampons the Next Day After Surgery. Too Soon?

Asked By:germangirl1990 in Los Angeles, CA

I had hump reduction with osteotomies and tip work. Doctor removed tampons next day, less than 24 hours... I am worried because I heard from friends that theirs were removed 3 days or 10 days later. Now I have extensive bleeding from one nostril (because of tip stitches) and I am worried about that too. So did the doctor do it wrong?!
