Dark Circles That Look Like Bruises - What is This?

I have these dark circles, if thats what you want to call them. They are bruises in my opinion. Had them for over a year and a half. This has to be extremely rare. Can't find anyone like it. I think fat loss do to meth/ sleepless nights/excessive drinking in 2009. I can't find anyone with circles like these. Nothing works. release will do anything. Or if fat grafting/transfer/repositioning will help? There is broken capallaries there but just in my under corners? What is this? Tear trough?
