A member asked:
Should my neck and face be swollen after having nose and ear surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The swelling drains according to gravity (down towards the face and neck). Some people can get bruising or black eyes as well. If there are any signs of infection (fever, pus, red streaks on the skin) then you should seek medical care.
