Facelift + Bruising Q&A

I had a upper face lift 6 mo ago under local anesthesia. the left eye was pulled tight during the procedure, so he went back in to lessen the pull. That side of my cheek is now brownish in color, and has not responderd to 4 broadband light treatments. He also injected a steroid 2 months after to help with bruising, which resulted in atrophy in that cheek, which he used a filler to correct. It is still bumpy. he wants to use fractionated laser Next. Are there any other options?

I would like to clarify the fact of facelift not resulting in any bruises at all. Does it mean that the doctor is competent or probably he did not perform the deep facelift including pulling of the muscles ?!!!

I am considering a facelift/neck lift/brow lift and I am concerned about the bruising and swelling. I bruise very easily. A friend of mine just got a facelift in San Francisco from a Doctor who uses TXA to prevent bruising. She hardly had any bruising and swelling. Can I request this from my doctor? What is your experience? Risks? Is there something better?

Approx 6 years back I fell hitting eyebrow with severe bruising that went under eye. Since then the left eye has this dark area at the inner and under eye.Right eye is fine. Thinking of having a facelift at 66 but whats to say this darkness from bruising does not settle in other areas, leaving me more dark areas? Black area under my left eye now could it be removed with a facelift? Have CRPS to lower extremities and praying it wont go to face. At elbows now! What do you think? Respectfully

It has been 3 weeks since I had facelift as part of removing the cyst on my face. I experienced severe hematoma after the surgery, but it seems that everything is healing as expected. I'm concerned about the bruises, since they still look very dark in some areas. The swelling on my cheek and jaw still a bit noticeable and feel so tense. Should I be alarmed? what can I do to better the situation? Thank you for your answer.

I had a facelift on 4/13. All seemed fine, then about 4 days ago, I developed a very dark bruise or hemotoma on my left cheek. There's no pain, but should I be concerned or is this part of the normal healing process? Thanks.

I am 4 days post-op after having a short scar face and neck lift. I still have significant swelling and bruising but it is starting to improve. My biggest concern is the looks of my cheeks in front of my ears. The skin appears lumpy. Will this smooth out over time and if so, how long will it take to look more natural?

I am considering a facelift, however I'm concerned about hematomas. Can you tell me the causes of these after facelifts? Are there things that I can do to prevent one from happening? Do they have anything to do with the expertise of the surgeon?

I just had a facelift & was wondering which was better? Thanks so much!

I had an upper and lower eyelid lift surgery and 8 weeks after I got a facelift with a different doctor. My eyes are swollen and bruised after the facelift. Will that damage the results from the blepharoplasty? Will the swealling spread the scars I have on my upper eyelid? Thank you
