As : As a rule, facial bruising and swelling lasts about the same as other bruising on your body (1-3 weeks). By stopping/avoiding blood thinners such as aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin e, garlic pills, ginseng pills, ginko biloba, etc you can bruise less and decrease this period.

This : This is typically performed in combination with liposuction. Bruising can be minimal lasting only 3-4 days but when more extensive, it can last 3-4 weeks. Rest, ice, compression, and avoidance of blood thinning agents.

Swelling and Bruisin: There is usually minimal bruising after chin augmentation. Swelling is normal after any procedure including chin augmentation and resolves slowly over the next several weeks. Tweet.
