Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

2 weeks after sugery most patients are healing well.

	Disruption of a scab or crusting can cause the bleeding.   Non healed lining or mucosa may bleed from dryness or cleaning.

	Have your doctor check.. use nasal saline spray and moisturizer such as bacitracin, vaseline , or arnica gel

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Your risk of nasal bleeding is higher than the general population for around 3 weeks following Rhinoplasty Surgery. Your risk of nasal bleeding may be greater than other surgical patients if you had turbinate work performed by your surgeon to help you breathe better. You should schedule a follow-up visit with your surgeon for specific advice.

It's hard to say what is causing the bleeding without examing your nose. I'd have your surgeon check it out to make sure everything is okay. It's not uncommon for residual crusting in the nose to lead to some bleeding, though.

Kimberly Lee, MD · Answer

Please contact your surgeon's office and let them know that this is happening so that you get the appropriate attention and care.

I don't think this is common but, if you do enough nose surgery you will see anything. You sholud see your surgeon but, most likely this is the result of sloughing an internal crust or scab
