Excessive Bruising and Swelling 5 Days Post Op Neck Lipo? (photo)

Prone to bruising
5 days post op I have excessive bruising and swelling under chin straps. Bruising didn't gravitate south toward lower neck or chest or pass chin strap. My face looks like a swollen bruised pear. Dr said I will be able to go back to work in 2 weeks after. Looking at current state of my face it is highly unlikely that bruises will be gone in remaining 9 days. In the morning bruises looked almost black, since I removed chin strap bruise colour changing into reddish. Should I put the strap back?
