Pregnancy and Rhinoplasty healing

September 22, 2024
Asked By:RealSelfMember09903993 in Montréal, Québec, Canada

Hi, I had a Rhinoplasty done in Mtl almost 6 months ago. Few weeks after surgery I got pregnant. In the past month I’ve been experiencing mild nasal bleeding(less than a drop) and congestion. I thought maybe is not a big deal but recently my nostrils bleed more. Sometimes is the right, sometimes left. I feel irritated inside, maybe itchy, not necessarily painful but uncomfortable. Outside looks just fine. Could this be “pregnancy related”? is it normal to bleed?

Do people with thick skin have bigger nose tips after surgery?
Eric M. Joseph, MD says:

It is true that thick nasal tip skin can decrease the amount of nasal tip narrowing after rhinoplasty surgery. When the skin is thick, however, we have more freedom to utilize cartilage crafts like an extended shield graft to achieve tip definition, projection, and narrowing. I hope this helps!...
