Severe Nose Bleed After Rhinoplasty?

dangernose
Severe nose bleed 9 days after my rhinoplasty, 2 days after my cast was removed. I went to the ER and I was hospitalized for 1 day. They put merocel packing and they will keep it for 5 days.I will go back to my surgeon when they remove my packing; his office is out of state. My nose looks really deformed now, the merocel packing enlarged the base and raised my tip, giving me a saddle type nose. Will this be temporary?Is there a chance the rhinoplasty work was severely compromised?
