Is Flushed Skin, Particularly on the Cheeks, Common After Rhinoplasty? I Am One Day Post Op.

The first week after a rhinoplasty can produce many changes to the surrounding skin of the eyes and cheeks. This can include some redness, bruising, and swelling. 

This normally starts to settle after 7-10 days.

      This may be a sign of an allergic reaction to a medication or a normal variant of healing.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
