A member asked:
Is it normal for bruises to last almost 7 weeks after open capsular plication shoulder surgery with anchors?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
This is unusual.: I suggest you make an appointment with the surgeon who did your operation to discuss your concerns.

It can be: If there was significant bleeding into the surgical sit postoperatively, which can occur, it can take many weeks for the bruising to resolve as the blood is dissected into the soft tissue and skin and is absorbed very slowly by the body.
