Under Eye Bruising Still Present 7 Weeks After Septorhinoplasty

June 21, 2010
Asked By:Sophiedoll in nyc

I am still bruised under my eyes after a septo/rhinoplasty with an osteotomy and tip graft. I had this procedure around 7.5 weeks ago, I'm still very dark under my eyes and the tip is very stiff. Is it possible to remain bruised forever? I'm not worried about the stiffness as much as the I am worried about being bruised forever. I heard that can happen.
