Is There Much Bruising From Temporal Artery Ligations?

Q: Dr. Eppley, And is there typically much visible bruising or pooling of blood afterwards from temporal artery ligations?

A: Significant bruising is not typically associated with temporal artery ligations. Each ligation site will be a little raised for a while afterwards and then settles down and smooths out over the ensuing month after the procedure.
