Hi..
Thanks for the query..

It is not uncommon that some rhinoplasty patients cough bloody phlegm after their surgery; the bleeding does get trapped with the phlegm.

However, if the bleeding worsens then I recommend that you seek an examination by an ENT wherever you are in case you were not able to reach your surgeon.

The blackish fluid can be due to old blood trapped somewhere in the passage..

Finally, I advise you to clean your nose with a nasal saline spray which will enhance your recovery pace.

In case if bleeding is active and too much then immediately consult an Emergency room..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
