6 months post op, my nostril gets irritated easily from the inside. Should I be worried?

Nino777Mar 23, 2024
Hello. It has been 6 months since my rhinoplasty and my left nostril still gets irritated easily on a septum side. Today I carried something that was a liitle heavy( nothing too much), and later I found some blood stains on a q-tip and my septum was red and little bloody when I looked inside. Is this something I should be worried about? Why are my blood vessels so fragile? P.S This only happens to my left nostril.

This is very practice-dependent. I suspect most surgeons do not charge for steroid injections in the nose in the post-operative period when they performed the surgery.

Your nose is quite upturned, and, in my opinion, projects far from your face. If you are happy you don't need to do anything but I don't think swelling is the issue. I would "deproject" your nose and "derotate" for a nice appearance.
