Swelling and bruising after facelift surgery

Your appearance is par for the course, but, please, clean up the blood streaks! You are making your surgeon look bad and scaring off potential patients! The under eye folds to the outside of your lower eyelids show that a mid facelift has been done.

Recovery from eye and mid-face surgery

Just from the photos, you seem to have the usual swelling and bruising after eye and mid-face surgery.
