When will bruising around the eyes subside after a nose job?

Question:
I had a rhinoplasty procedure about 4 days ago. I still have bruises around my eyes, is this normal? How long should it take for the bruises to go away?

Answer:
Four days is still very soon after your surgery, and it is normal for bruising to still be present. Residual bruising will remain in the area for around two weeks, and sometimes longer. This depends on how you heal, and what was performed during the surgery. Thank you for the question, and please address any immediate post-operative concerns with your surgeon.
