Eyelid Surgery: Stories

I am 26 years old and have hereditary dark circles/bags. I had lower transconjunctival blepharoplasty in the beginning of December 2011. Now over 4 months later the bags are mostly gone, however under certain indoor lighting I have terrible dark marks. I am not sure whether this is bruising or what. I am not sure whether the fact that that they are MUCH more visible in certain lightings makes a difference or not as to what the problem is. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to fix this? Please help!

My first visit back with my doctor to get the bandages removed he said everything looked good. It was hard to tell because there was obviously still bruising. After a month I went back to him and showed him that I still had these dark red/blue marks and I wasn't sure what it was. He just said that is just the way my skin is and theres nothing he can do about that. I asked about lasers etc and he just said that wouldn't do anything. What bothers me is that the whole under eye area isn't dark like when most people have dark circles, it is just a streak of darkness. I feel as if it might be the blood from the surgery clotting together under the skin or something? Before I had the surgery done I just had eye bags. If you pulled the skin tight there would be no blueish marks which is why we felt that the surgery would be successful. Not really sure what the problem is! My biggest concern is the placement of the darkness because it's very concentrated in one area like someone painted blue/red lines on me. I just can't tell if this is maybe hemosiderin staining or something. Any help would be appreciated!

I really hope I didn't trade eye bags for extremely dark circles. What bothers me even if is that if it were just even darkness under my eyes that would be one thing but it's like streaks which makes it even harder to cover-up with makeup!! What can I do?!!
