Hello,
The black eye, neck, and face after a fall are probably caused by hematoma because of traumatic fall.
If she is possibly taking blood thinning medications the hematoma is being worse than it should be.
I think you don't have to worry about it. Put some ice in that place of injury and also use ibuprofen for pain.
Also, she can use support or walker to prevent Fallings.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
