Possible : Possible but rare. Expect no change in bleeding pattern.

Not in the long term: Bleeding for 1-2 days after a rhinoplasty is expected and very normal. The risk of heavy bleeding is usually reduced by stopping certain medications (aspirin, nsaids, fish oil, vit e, etc) 1-2 weeks prior to surgery. Make sure you tell your surgeon about your propensity for nosebleeds before your procedure so that he or she may look for potential risks.

No: Rhinoplasty will not make you more susceptible to nose bleeds, and may diminish them if you also have a deviated septum repaired.

Not usually: Rhinoplasty should not predispose you to nosebleeds in the long term. It is common to have some bloody drainage from your nose for the first few days after surgery.
