You will be healing for about 6 months. If you had a lot of bruising after the surgery, the skin will often appear dark for many weeks.

Your before and after photos show wonderful progress. The lightly in the photographs is coming from below and this tends to accent the shadows and contours. I would imagine that your eyelids look much better in natural light. Dark circles are a result of venous networks in the subcutaneous layers of the eyelid. Also, rubbing can cause inflammation in the layers of the skin and a dark, crepe-like appearance.

Filler along the maxilla (Juvederm Voluma or similar) might distract the skin and subcutaneous tissues enough to smooth the trough. Be sure to follow-up with your surgeon and see what he/she suggests for you. Best wishes on your healing.
