Is light bleeding 5 days after a Rhinoplasty normal?

August 24, 2014
Asked By:DRAWLEIGH in Fairport, NY

One of my nostrils only has clear mucous but the other side it's is mucousy with a small amount of blood through it. Is this normal? I'm supposed to get the splint and sutures removed tomorrow (6 days post-op) and I'm kinda of nervous about it. Thank you!!
