I had neck and facelift with liposuction 15 days ago and since the main swelling has gone I have a very sore swollen lumpy area under my jaw that looks bruised. Is this normal?

Answer: Significant asymmetry after facelift should be checked by your own plastic surgeon. Slight asymmetry after facelift is expected. If there is significant asymmetry particularly with the extensive bruising it is possible that you have a hematoma that should be drained.

Answer: Is post op bruising and swelling normal? Hi Vicky7489: the answer is yes. Post op bruising and swelling is completely normal. Liposuction is a traumatic technique and certainly can cause the type of bruising demonstrated in your photos. I'm sure your plastic surgeon's office can provide some basic instruction on how to manage this while you go through the healing stages. 15 days is still early in the overall healing process. Don't be discouraged.
