Bruising After 6 Months Post Op Facelift and Neck?

   Hemosiderin deposits after facelift do tend to get better with time.  Wait at least a year before considering anything therapeutic.

Typically, bruising following a facelift and necklift should have subsided by now. You should see your plastic surgeon or seek a second opinion to make sure you are still healing correctly. It's difficult to know what the issue is without being able to examine you.

Cotinuous skin discoloration after facelifting is a rare phenomenon. It is most likely to happen in three instances. The first is when there are deep intense bruises especially in dependant portions of the face such as the neck and jawline. The second is when there is prolonged and intense swelling of the bruised area indicating inflammation and lastly when bruises are exposed to the sun during the healing process. Regardless of the cause, time can improve the discoloration and it can be effectively treated with bleaching agents used over a three month period.
