Minor Bleeding 7 Weeks After Facelift?

Your bleeding may be due to several minor things, but in all likelihood it is not a big deal.  Wound separation means the the edges of the wound have separated a bit and will need a bit more time to heal.  Even in this case, they will heal.  This can be caused by tension on the wound, a minor infection, or a suture irritation.  All of these things will resolve on their own.  

Followup with your surgeon but don't worry too much about this.

Sorry to hear about the issues you are experiencing with bleeding following your facelift. By separation, your surgeon may be referring to the incision. It may have parted slightly if there was tension in the area. In general, the side effects of a facelift can include the following:

1) Swelling
2) Bruising
3) Temporary numbness
4) Nerve injury that is usually temporary but can sometimes be permanent
5) Bleeding

 

I would recommend speaking with your surgeon further regarding the issue. It is important the area is examined thoroughly to rule out the possibility of a hematoma. Everyone recovers at a different pace with different issues. This depends on the nature of the patient's surgery and the way they heal. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck with resolving the problem.

I doubt there is cause for alarm the bleeding seven weeks after he facelift is uncommon. Therefore, I would check in with your plastic surgeon.
