Asked By:larson526 in Delaware, DE

I had upper and lower blepharoplasty two weeks ago. My incisions look dark almost black. Is this normal? What type of discoloration is caused by sunlight. I was in the sun but with sunglasses. I have sparse eyelashes which also makes the lower incisions more prominent. I am concerned makeup will make them even darker. I don't see from others pictures this problem.
