Is there anything I can do to get rid of the lower blepharoplasty scars? (Photo)

Egchora
I am a 41 year old latin female and I had lower blepharoplasty surgery three weeks ago. The doctor did get rid of the bags under my eyes but now I have these unsightly scars to look at. Aside from the scars, I am still having trouble shutting my eyes completely. In my follow up appointment yesterday, my doctor said that it looks like my scars are hyper pigmenting and he prescribed an 8% hydroquinone bleaching cream to put on twice daily. Is there anything else I can do to help the scars fade?
