3 days post-op. Following doctor's orders with ice 20 minutes very hour. Just finished the ice. Bruising around eyes was to be expected. However, last night a large purple bruise appeared on the face by the jaw and has spread under chin partially down the neck. The cheek/jaw area is also swollen. What is going on? Surgeon is out of town for a week.
