4 Weeks Since Rhinoplasty. Black Eye Still Not Healed.

September 9, 2010
Asked By:Chocolat in USA

4 weeks ago I had an open septorhinoplasty w/ 2 banked rib grafts. As expected, my bruising was severe on both eyes and also on the "laugh line" area of my cheeks. As of today, a 2-inch purple bruise remains under my eye. Is this normal or should I contact my surgeon? Notes: -I did not take any herbs like Arnica for this surgery -My pain went away on Day 4 -This is my 2nd surgery, 1st was a septoplasty in 2004, no grafts, Arnica before surgery, bruising lasted 10 days Thanks Docs!
