Plastic incisions are coming out of my nostrils. Is this normal?

August 20, 2018
Asked By:K0013 in Ontario, CA

I had septoplasty and rhinoplasty and I am 13 days post-op. I am doing nasal rinse 2 times a day and blowing my nose gently (not too hard). Yesterday I noticed theses plastic incisions are coming out of my nostrils. Is this normal? Will it affect my final results? And of course I still have swelling but I'm worried about theses incisions.
