How long does the swelling and bruising last after facial plastic surgery?
Swelling after eye surgery, nose shaping and facelift procedures may resolve in as quickly as a week or may last as long as 2-3 weeks after surgery. This is dependent on how quickly an individual patient heals. Usually after the first week, patients can use makeup to cover any bruising. It is also not uncommon for the skin to feel numb for quite a few weeks after surgery. Sensation returns slowly. The use of Sinecch can help to resolve bruising and swelling more quickly.
