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

Answer: Bleeding after Rhinoplasty
Profuse bleeding after rhinoplasty is rare, but can happen. Bleeding several years after a rhinoplasty that only occurs a few times each year or once a year is likely unrelated. However, it would be best for you to see a qualified ENT surgeon so examine and do a video endoscopy to visualize that tissue that is bleeding.
Good Luck.

Answer: A certified, reputable ENT specialist would be the best source of advice regarding your nose bleeds.
I read your concern. If you're having frequent nasal bleeding, please consult a reputable ENT for evaluation and management. You may get an endoscopic examination of your nose to pinpoint the source of bleeding. Depending on your history, blood work may be necessary to exclude a bleeding disorder.
If you're currently having mild bleeding only once a year, you may just need a minor, in-office cauterization procedure.
I hope this is helpful for you.
Regards from NJ.
