Is bleeding at stitches site behind ear normal after lower face lift?

Mild oozing is quite common after suture removal (especially behind the ears).  Usually this lasts 1-2 days and resolves on its own without treatment.  It is a good idea to keep the area clean and perhaps place a small amount of antibiotic ointment on the area for a few days.  Sometimes the skin can separate behind the ear (due to tension) and, if small, can be left alone to heal on its own.  In either case, I would advise to give it no more than two days to resolve on its own.  If it doesn't please contact your plastic surgeon for follow up.

It's common to get a few drops of blood behind the ear after sutures are removed following a facelift. If, however, you notice a lump or mass that wasn't there before, or the skin has separated, that is something that may require more immediate attention. Best bet is to contact your surgeon to be seen.

If you feel a nodule at the area of concern then you need to see your doctor to have the hematoma drained. But if just bruising, then there should be fine and there is no issue. Still if you feel that you need to see your doctor, and that makes you feel more comfortable, your surgeon should be acceseable to you and he or she should be happy to see you to put you at ease.
