I was hit in the face by my airbag in an accident, where my nose took the majority of the injuries. After such force to my nose, I was left with two black eyes (on Wednesday). At the hospital, they immediately gave me ice packs for my eyes, though they really weren't bruised too terribly. After ice and heat alternation for two days, my eyes and the swelling look 100% better, but beneath my eyes is still a little dark and slightly purple. Is it unusual for the bruising to subside so quickly (not that I'm complaining)? Is is possible that my bruises could clear up for the most part by Sunday (turn yellowish, greenish, and fade)? How long does it usually take for black eyes/swelling to go away after trauma to the nose?

Not long girl. I got a black eye when I was a kid. Got nailed in the eye by a baseball. It only took a few days for the bruise to fade and after a week or so you couldn't tell I'd been hit.

It really depends on how fast you heal. It could be cleared up by Sunday or it could take another week. I have had bruises last a couple of days and have had them last a couple of weeks. Continue with the heat and ice alteration.
