Hi Nancy,
I didn't have much bruising. Where I did have it was in a circle like pattern around my neck near my collar bone. Swelling. Oh yea. Lots of that. That said, as of today it has mostly gone except for some right around the sides of my nose and along the jaw line for my jaw advancement.
For comparisons sake, I had segmental Le fort 1, bsso and genioplasty. Didntvreally havecti have the genio but hey I was already under the knife so I figured let's go all the way.
I can also say that my nose is clearing up nicely. I went through a lot of saline.
Hope you're having a nice day.
Tom
