6 Days Post-op and All Bruising is Faded to Yellow. However I Notice a Purple Bruise Under my Cast?

Had primary rhinoseptoplasty with turbinate reduction and tip definition/ bridge straightening 6 days ago. Went well and healing well. Cast comes off tomorrow. All bruising is yellow now--worse on right side near the worst of the c-curve. From under the cast I can see a deep purple bruise about an inch long running parallel and under the cast that has remained purple. Dr mentioned he had to do some bridge filing. Why might this bruise be in this location and hasn't faded at similar rate?
