Lower Eyelid Stain Post Fat Transfer: Hemosiderin or Hyperpigmentation?

May 29, 2011
Asked By:RockDude in Los Angeles, CA

I am just about a month out of a horrible lower fat transfer to my lower eyes that has left my right eye lumpy and bumpy, and my left eye still hollow in the outside but most disturbing, under the eye is still stained with a reddish purple ring giving me raccoon eye (which is why I had the FT to begin with!). 30 days later.. is this hemosiderin? is it still bruising? is it hyperpigmentation? My plastic surgeon has me on hydroquinone but I wonder if a pulse dye laser can help this?
