Getting air bubbles and pop in my nose type feeling. Also getting clear liquid with blood drip from my nose. Is this normal?

Question

I'm day 6 into my rhinoplasty. My cast comes off tomorrow. My nose is still very much blocked up.

Sam Speron, MD, FACS · Answer

I suggest you consult with your surgeon on any symptoms you are having especially it being so close to your operation. Good luck during your healing process and thank you for your question.

I would recommend that you follow up with your surgeon to get your questions answered.  It would be normal for your nose to feel blocked up. But it would be best for your surgeon to examine you to make sure everything else is good as well.  Good luck!

David Reinstadler, MD · Answer

You need to speak with your surgeon specifically in these instances. During the immediate post-operative period, you should be in close contact with them. Best of luck
