6 weeks out from a facelift and I woke up with blood/fluid coming out of my ear canal. Is this normal?

it will be 6 weeks since my face lift procedure. I do have swelling under the chin area and am very concerned. I started to massage the area as told by my Doc and the first night I did this I woke up with blood/fluid (small amount) coming out of my ear canal, both ears. Is this also normal? Thank you for your answer in advance.

Either procedure could be safely performed. While any inflammatory process could induce hyper pigmentation, I feel the risk is low. Both the advanced facelift and fillers can both be performed safely if desired.  Additionally, good medical skin care can help long term with your melasma.

You shouldn't sleep on your face for a while after surgery. After about 2-4 weeks, you can start to sleep in this way. In case of any problems, you should contact a Board Certified Surgeon.
