Profuse Nose Bleeding After Rhinoplasty

June 11, 2011
Asked By:J Q in Austin, Texas

Hi, I had my rhinoplasty done 3 years ago. I remember having profuse bleeding the 4th day after surgery and the doctor told that the healing did not happen properly and packed my nose again. After 3 days he applied silver nitrate on the bleeding site. Every once year I do get mild nose bleeding. Is this cause of the surgery or some other factors such as dry nose etc. Thanks
