How can I speed up the hemosiderin staining post rhinoplasty? Should I continue my arnica and bromelain supplements? (Photo)

nyck101
I'm one month post rhinoplasty and getting different opinions from doctors. The plastic surgeon suggested hydorquinone which my derm does not recommend 1) putting around the eye and 2) said it would penetrate deep enough to remove the staining since it only works on the surface. The derm recommended a vitamin k cream. What else can I do? How long till it's fully gone? Is there a chance it is permanent?
