Still bleeding 6 days post op rhinoplasty?

Asked By:dd710 in New York, NY

I had a closed rhinoplasty 6 days ago and blood is still trickling out of my right nostril. There is a stent in my right nostril. The bleeding is not excessive but it is definitely fresh blood (not oozing or dry blood). Should I be concerned?
