I have a nose full of hard dried blood clots. I cleaned the front of my nostrils, and looking at me directly you wouldn't be able to see any blood clots within my nose. But I feel them all in there! I use saline spray a few x/day, and i do use the ointment but I hate using it bc it's hard to breathe with it in your nose. I occasionally pick at some of the dried blood with a tweezer (*very gently though. It's like playing Operation! I try not to touch the sides or move my nose). that is okay?

Yes, your information and the x-rays indicate that you almost certainly fractured your nose when you fell as a child. In general, a significant nose bleed after a nose injury indicates damage to the bone or cartilage.Always consult a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Best wishes.
Thank you
for your inquiry.
What you are going through must be very frustrating especially with the repeated need for surgery. Normally, it is recommended for a patient to wait a year before attempting another well planned and executed repair in your situation. The reason being is that tissue...
At 6months post-op, your nose is already almost completely healed, and it's strength is already almost the same as a nose which had not undergone surgery before. The absence of bleeding also signifies that the accident did not warrant any damage that may cause a change in the shape of your nose.
