Indentation, Hollowness and Dark Circles After Lower Blepharoplasty? (photo)

Staying Positive 0418
Initially I was happy with transconjunctival blepharoplasty from 1 month ago due to very little bruising but over time, i have developed asymmetrical indentation where my eye sockets meet upper cheeks. At the end of week 4, Dr. prescribed me steroids for residual swelling. After swelling went down further, the indented area became depressed into hollowness. In last few days I have developed dark circles. I know it is still early in recovery but can these conditions improve/reverse with time?
