Rhinoplasty with Bleeding - Saint Louis, MO

I've been unhappy with my nose due to its nasal jump and pointing down when I smile, so I wanted a more feminine look that would suit my face. A week after my cast was removed I was pretty happy with result even though it did look too fat and tip too "up". I was sure this would go down with time. I didn't particularly like how I looked like from the front, as it did look a bit like pig nose and very fat from the front, but knowing the swelling will go down calmed me.

I was on the phone with my doctor but the bleeding wouldn't stop and I had to call ambulance. I was talked to the ER and it was the scariest experience in my life! I lost so much blood and it just poured out of my nose. Finally after stuffing my nose with inflatable balloon the bleeding stopped, and blood clots started to form. It was so painful for the next 24 hours especially since my nose still hadn't healed at all. I am in shock and cannot stop worrying about the bleed and my results....

Right now it's been 3 days since I it the inflated balloon stuffing in my nose and the ER doc told me to come back in 3 days to remove it, however my doctor told me the longer I wait the better chance I have of it not bleeding again when the stuffing is removed. I am worried about keeping it in for 6 days...and really don't know what to do. I am also scared of it bleeding again.
I've been told the most likely reason it bled so much was because the stitch that was dissolving opened up and was right next to an artery which made it bleed so severely. I don't know if this balloon in my nose will solve the problem and help the stitch to heal.
