Re: Question on bruising

,

Congrats on being 3 days post-op! If you're out and about getting

fresh air ... then it sounds like things are going well for you. I'm

glad to hear it!

As far as the brusing goes, I think it's very different for everyone.

I only had brusing under my chin on the right side where the skeletal

wire was inserted and it was gone withint 3-4 days. ( I had

upper/lower surgery 5/5. )

Take care!

I started seeing bruising around day 5. It wasn't black & blue

bruising, just a yellow color that was gone by the next day.
