Causes and Etiology of Dark Circles under Eyes
1. Thin Translucent Lower Eyelid Skin

Your surgeon should be able to answer these questions for you.

Blood pigment
After surgery, bruising is almost a certainty. The bruising can last for 2-3 weeks to resolve. However, blood products [iron] can have prolonged pigment deposits that can take a couple months to resolve. You do not mention how far postop you are but if its less then 2 weeks please still be patient.

Hairline Lowering
The temporary swelling you describe can occur after a hairline lowering procedure. With all do respect I suggest that you contact your surgeon. I'll never understand why patients ask questions immediately after surgery on this forum. If I was your surgeon, I'd want you to call me.
