Nose won't stop bleeding after second rhinoplasty. Is this normal?

June 27, 2015
Asked By:rosa1234 in Calabasas, CA

I had my second rhinoplasty five-six hours ago and my nose has been bleeding profusely since I woke up and I'm a little worried because the last time (a year and half ago) my nose didn't bleed at all. Is this normal?
