A member asked:
I had mucocele removal surgery 2 days ago and have very bad bruising across my lip that started on day 2, is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any surgical procedure can result in "bruising" which may seem to start "day 2" after surgery, as the blood will show on the surrounding skin later than the actual blood loss occurred. This should resolve slowly over the next week or two.
