How long does it take for a swollen face to heal?

Normally, the face is an organ with relatively little soft tissue coverage, so it takes 1-2 weeks for the face to heal after being bruised. The face has less tissue under the skin, fat and muscle. When a soft tissue contusion is sustained, the capillaries under the skin rupture and tiny blood leaks out, seeping into the subcutaneous tissue and causing the symptoms of soft tissue swelling and subcutaneous ecchymosis in the face. Within 72 hours of the injury, the oozing from the face gradually worsens, so you can see that the soft tissues of the face will become more and more obviously swollen, and even subcutaneous petechiae will appear. After 72 hours, the bleeding has stopped and the exuded inflammatory tissues are gradually absorbed by the body, and a relatively mild soft tissue injury can be completely absorbed in about 1 week. More serious soft tissue contusion, face and face in about 2 weeks can also achieve healing. Patients need to pay attention to the face is swollen first in 24 hours for cold compresses, after 24 hours can be appropriate hot compresses, can reduce the soft tissue swelling. You can also take medicines to activate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain, such as Zhonghua Bone-setting Pills and Panax ginseng tablets, do not use impermeable cosmetics and skincare products, and do not eat spicy, greasy food.
