After Necklift Temple Artery Burst. Now Have Feeling That Blood is Dripping Under Skin

September 10, 2010
Asked By:Lexee in Palm Beach, FL

12 days after a necklift, I bent over and the pressure was to much and blood flowed perfusely - paramedics thought I had been shot in the head. I lost 2 pints of blood. Now I have a sensation of blood running down the side of my ear. Is this a normal healing process?
