I'm a male from Chicago with thick skin who had a really large dorsal hump removed and the nose slightly de-projected as well as a graft to define the tip more.The profile looks perfect to me but the front is just SO much worse! It has no shape, it looks like a wide potato in photos! My nose used to be very thin in the front. My surgeon says that it can never look as thin as it was because the hump was what contributed to that, but I see many people outside with thinner noses and no humps?

It is rather uncommon to be bleeding from surgery this far out. However, it may be related to the cleaning you are doing with the q-tip. The front part of the septum where you may be bleeding from is very vascular and can bleed if traumatized. I would have your surgeon examine your nose to...
I would avoid picking your nose. It is much more effective to thoroughly rinse your nose with saline nasal rinses 2-3 times per day to keep the nose clean and free of crusting. I would make sure that you are following up with your surgeon to ensure that you are healing normally.
I suggest seeing your plastic surgeon as quickly as possible as this is not common. You may need to also undergo an ophthalmology evaluation. Without examining you, it's difficult to say what exactly the problem could be.
