Sam Naficy, MD, FACS · Answer

It is very difficult to answer your question without examining your nose &ndash; you should discuss your concerns with your doctor

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

It is very difficult to asses what is going on without an evaluation in person. It is probably best to see your original surgeon.

Francis R. Palmer, III, MD (retired) · Answer

You should ask your Rhinoplasty Surgeon, this question, and get his/her opinion, evaluation and recommendations.

Richard W. Fleming, MD (retired) · Answer

The blood is probably secondary to firmly blowing your nose. However, you should see your surgeon to determine why you have a stuffy nose and draining mucous.
