Is it normal for blood to gush out of the eye after a lower blepharoplasty?

Asked By:Lowerblephh in New York, NY

My mother had a lower blepharoplasty done today and she is very swollen under the eyes. One eye much more than the other. A few minutes ago, that eye started gushing a lot of blood. It has now stopped and I am wondering if this is normal and if it is just a blood vessel that burst or something? Should we be concerned? The surgery was done from within the eye.
