Heavy Nosebleeds After Rhinoplasty

This is not normal as the other doctors have noted.  Some oozing which is more watery and not very bloody can happen up to 5-7 days after surgery, but frank bleeding is not normal.

I would recommend discussing this with your plastic surgeon.

I will advise my patients to avoid strenuous activity, and not travel for 3 weeks after I perform Rhinoplasty Surgery. This is due to the common problem of epistaxis (nose-bleeding) that may occur anytime within 3 weeks after your surgery date. After 3 weeks, my patients are allowed unlimited physical activity.

If the bleeding was heavy, you should visit your surgeon for an examination.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Hi Marie,
It is not normal to have haeavy nose bleeds 5 to 7 days after rhinoplasty. Best to contact your rhinoplasty surgeon for an exam of your nose. good luck and be well.
