Long-term Nose Bleeds Many Years After Rhinoplasty

March 8, 2010
Asked By:Juneguy in Los Angeles

I've had 2 rhinoplasty surgeries. First one healed and the cartilage was pronounced on the tip and looked "done" and my nose bled and scabbed. 2nd revision a few years after the first made my nose look natural but I still have a scab that bleeds. I've tried saline sprays, neti pots and Polysporin in the nostril. It's been about 8 years and my nostril scab won't heal and i still bleed, every day. I've seen an ENT years ago and he said it's probably my airway is so large that it dries out and never heals. Any suggestions?
