I had surgery Thursday and today I noticed the bruising that was on my chest had leeched all the way to the bottom of both of my breasts and now this evening I am seeing bruising on the inside of my lower lip and on my chin. Is this acceptable?
Answer: Bruising after a facelift Bruising after facial surgery tends to migrate, and this process can occur over the course of many weeks in some cases. The bruising tends to migrate toward the feet. Most brow lift patients do not get much bruising of the forehead and instead get bruising under the eyes. Cheek implant patients may get bruising in the neck. Facelift patients can get bruising that settles all the way into the chest area as described here - this is not an uncommon experience. The amount of bruising and the location of bruising will vary from one patient to another. In some cases, particularly second facelift patients, the bruising may be very minimal, whereas others may get extensive bruising. Your surgeon and their staff should be able to educate you on medications and activities to avoid to decrease the risk of bleeding, bruising, and hematoma formation before and after surgery. Be sure to discuss any post-surgical concerns with your surgeon to rule out any dangerous situations like a large hematoma or other issue. All the best,

Answer: Bruising is a common side effect following facelift surgery. Bruising is a common side effect following facelift surgery, and it can “fall” downward onto the neck and chest before resolving. Most bruising should disappear after around two weeks, and should be able to be covered with makeup after one week. If your bruising is accompanied by significant swelling, I would advise visiting your surgeon for a follow-up visit to make sure you don’t have a hematoma.

Answer: Bruising & Swelling Following Facelift It’s not uncommon for patients to experience bruising following facelift surgery. Bruising typically lasts about one to two weeks and is more likely to occur with more extensive surgical procedures. It’s not unusual for discoloration to drift downward onto the chest and change color with time. In most cases bruising is a normal phenomenon. When bruising is accompanied by significant swelling this may indicate the presence of a hematoma. Under these circumstances it’s important to contact your surgeon as soon as possible.

Answer: Bruising After Facelift Surgery
Bruising can last for a week or two and as it dissipates it will go through multiple phases of the rainbow and this can also descend into the neck area which should be gone in 10-14 days in most cases.
