Eyeballs Beet-Red in Far Corners After Rhinoplasty?

January 5, 2013
Asked By:Ioanna05 in Toronto, ON

Hello, Today is day 2 of my recovery process, I had quite a bit done (open rhino/septo, sewing of my cartilage for narrowing, fracturing and bump removal, dropped and narrowing the tip). I am extremely swollen all around my eyes and between my eyes brow. This morning I was cleaning my eyes when I noticed the far corners of my actual eyeballs were beet red, almost like they were bleeding. My eyesight is fine, however I'd like to know if this is normal, considering all the physical trauma. Thanks!
