Raccoon eyes after rhinoplasty. Do you think it's permanent? What are my options to fix it? (Photo)

Asked By:Maxxyz in Los Angeles, CA

I had rhinoplasty exactly one month ago, and i still have dark raccoon eyes. I read online that it may take months to fade, but in some cases it's permanent. I've always had bad blood circulation under my eyes and i am Middle Eastern, so i think i'm more prone to permanent undereye pigmentation. Do you think it's permanent? What are my options to fix this problem if it isn't permanent (creams, pills, etc?)? What if it is permanent (laser, bleaching, etc?)? How long should i wait to do this?
