Rhino 14 Days Ago - What Is This Yellow Tinge Around my Eyes and Forehead?

Question

Is It Part of the Healing Process?

Kevin Sadati, DO · Answer

The yellow discoloration on skin after any surgery is the last stage of bruising process. Please be patience and give it a few more days for discoloration to resolve. Good luck and good healing.

Otto Joseph Placik, MD · Answer

This is commonly the end stage of bruising. In rare instances it can be jaundice but I would doublt this. In any event confirm this with your surgeon. In most instances, it resolves by 3-4 weeks.

hHi Rock,

	The yellow tinge that you are experiencing is from the breakdown of hemoglobulin in red blood cells.  It is a normal healing pattern after bruising.  Good luck and be well.

Burr von Maur, MD · Answer

The yellowish color is very common and is will disappear .

	It happens as the bruising subsides.

	Not to worry.

Ryan Greene, MD, PhD · Answer

The yellow color you see is most likely a result of bruising following the procedure. The hemoglobin is broken down in the skin, which causes the yellow color. This should fade pretty rapidly.
