Brown patches under eyes after upper blepharoplasty and fat transfer. What can I do? (Photo)

Asked By:karenldm in La Jolla, CA

3 months ago I had an upper blepharoplasty and fat transfer under eyes. After 3 weeks the bruising had mostly faded but these brown patches appeared. I have been using Hydroquonine 8% nightly for past 6 weeks and using Arnika daily, oral and topical. Not much success. Will this eventually disappear on its own or could this be permanent? Would a peel or laser treatment help this along? Have spent hundreds on makeup and nothing can cover it completely. I'm desperate for a solution.
