What Are These Dark Circles/marks Under Eyes After Lower Bleph? Can They Be Fixed? (photo)

anonymous443
I used to have eye bags now I have dark circles/marks after lower trans bleph. Is this hemosiderin staining or hyperpigmentation? It seems as if its only in a certain area under both eyes. Could it be bruising underneath the skin? I am 4 months post-op so I am assuming everything should have healed by now. Also, just to note, before I had the surgery if you pulled the eye bags tight there was no dark color or discoloration so it almost seems like this happened because or the surgery.
