Pulled a blood clot from my nostril 10 days post rhinoplasty. Have I damaged long term results?

Asked By:lauria8 in Norwood, LA

I'm 10 days post-op internal rhinoplasty with no grafts/impants. There was a blood clot no deeper than the end of a q-tip, so I pulled it out with tweezers. No bleeding (to my knowledge) occurred and it didn't hurt. I can finally breathe from that nostril again, but now I'm really worried!
