Hi.
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain bleeding from nose in your case can be due to infection post surgery or there is a possibility that if the defect is not completely closed there is recurring infection and inflammation in the nose and maxillary sinuses leading to bleeding..
You should consult an Oral Surgeon and get a thorough evaluation done and a nasal endoscopy and MRI of sinuses can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
