I still have some bruising a month after lower eyelid surgery to remove bags. Will this ever go away? I have what seems like dark circles directly under eyes. I never had this problem before. Will this clear up?
Answer: Bruising from eyelid surgery will clear up in time Hi Becky,

Answer: It will most likely go away Most bruising, if it's true bruising, will all eventually go away. Sometimes there are pigments in your skin that was not noticed before surgery and now you just started seeing it, and those pigments won't likely go away. but if you are only one month after surgery, I recommend waiting longer first.

Answer: Bruising after eyelid surgery This question should be presented to the surgeon who performed your operation. "Bruising" is the common term equivalent for "ecchymosis," blood clot (hemoglobin) beneath the skin that is visible on the skin as violet-blue-dark red coloration. Darkness may indeed be related to hemosiderin (breakdown product of hemoglobin), post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, swelling with fine wrinkles and resulting shadows, some combination of these, or something else. What will happen to that coloration over time depends on what it is, and your surgeon would know, based on your skin type, on his/her technique, and on the type of blepharoplasty you had.

Answer: Bruising after bleph Some bruising can remain for several weeks after surgery, but the majority of it should have disappeared by now. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s instructions on post-surgical care to help your recovery. The dark circles under your eyes could be bruising as well. However, if you are particularly concerned it’s always best to see your surgeon.

Answer: Bruising after blepharoplasty Usually bruising disappears within 7-10 days following blepharoplasty. Although your bruising is persisting longer, it should fully resolve with some more time. Be patient and reevaluate it in a couple of weeks. See your surgeon if you need peace of mind in the meantime.

Answer: Bruising and eyelid surgery A faint amount of bruising may still exist even a month after surgery. Make sure you see your surgeon to make sure there isn't some other issue, but in general this is not uncommon and will gradually resolve.
