Hyperpigmentation Staining Following Rhinoplasty? (photo)

August 4, 2013
Asked By:LB32

I am 2 months post op rhinoplasty and had extensive bruising and swelling after my surgery. This resulted in some hyperpigmentation staining under my eyes. Would a short term treatment of prescription bleaching cream help get rid of this? Or would you recommend giving it time? Also someone made the comment I had what looked like mild tear troughs. I never had this prior to my surgery, could this be a illusion due to the bruising and swelling still present?
