Can a facelift fix the darkness to left eye from fall 6 years ago? (photos)

salte2Oct 19, 2021
Approx 6 years back I fell hitting eyebrow with severe bruising that went under eye. Since then the left eye has this dark area at the inner and under eye.Right eye is fine. Thinking of having a facelift at 66 but what’s to say this darkness from bruising does not settle in other areas, leaving me more dark areas? Black area under my left eye now could it be removed with a facelift? Have CRPS to lower extremities and praying it won’t go to face. At elbows now! What do you think? Respectfully
