I had a Chin implant placed and Neck Liposuction. Its been five days since my surgery, I'm taking Meloxicam to reduce swelling. The only problem I'm having is a huge bruise on the left side of my neck. Its bothering me a lot, it looks serious, my doctor saw me yesterday and told me it's a clot but it feels hard so he couldn't drain it or it will only hurt me.It doesn't seem to get any better. Please tell me what can I apply or take to remove it? Thanks.
