Can a lower bleph bruise last 7 weeks? I've read about hemosiderin staining, is this a possibility? (photos)

Hemosiderin staining after eyelid surgery is uncommon but definitely possible. If one side is much darker than the other, this is the most likely explanation. The color will return to normal slowly but can take as long as 6-12 months.

Bruising after any surgery can last seven weeks or longer. Some patients experience more bruising than others for a variety of reasons.

This is a problem of  darking of the skin that can occur after surgery, and is best treated as early as possible. Have your surgeon evaluate you at your earliest convience.
