So I had my surgery, got sent home and then about an hour later started having the most extreme pain ever followed by major bleeding. It kept happening every 30 seconds and ended up back at the hospital. Was told I had a hematoma and had to be put back under and she had to reopen my stitches, put medicine in to stop the bleeding and do 3 rows of stitches. I just want to know if this amount of bruising and swelling is normal and if its going to affect the overall outcome? This is 5 days postop.
