Asked By:alohagurl in Honolulu, HI

I'm 5 1/2 weeks post op upper lower blepharoplasty with under eye fat transfer. My eyes are still a bit swollen. My biggest concerns is the red lump under left eye and the dark stains under both eyes. Not sure if the stains are bruising or hemosiderin stains. Will the stains and lump go away overtime? How long does it take to normally heal? What would be a good treatment option, besides time. Feeling discouraged. TY
