Bruising, Swelling, and Seroma After Multiple Procedures
Yesterday, I had a lateral eyelid lift, and lower mini facelift (weekend facelift) which pulled tightly behind my ears. I also had fat transfer to my eye and cheekbone area from Smart Lipo from my love handles. The next day, I am very swollen around my eyes, which are deep bluish black and terribly swollen. I can barely see out of the right eye. There also seems to be a great deal of fluid on day 2 along with the bruising. Are these normal?

Weekend face lift
This is the weekend face lift.
Fat transfer taken by Smartlipo was not very smart since the fat is dead cells.
Fluid collection can be a hematoma so call the surgeon immediately. You should be seen and examined. if there is a hematoma it can cause multiple problems, including skin loss.

This is normal
With all the surgery that you have had, it is normal to have a lot of fluid and edema and swelling and bruising around the entire face for the first two weeks after the surgery. This is normal.
