Dark Circles After Lower Blepharoplasty

maz in london
I am of Afro-Carribean origin, fair to meduim complexion. I had Blepharoplasty for eye bags just over 7 weeks ago. The eye bags have completely disappeared, but I have been left with dark circles where the bruising was. My skin has completely changed color where the bruising was . I know it's still early, but my consultant was surprised when he saw me after 6 weeks. Am I just taking longer to heal or is this permanent?
