Eyes are swollen & I have darker circles after lower blepharoplasty. Will the color change? Will the puffiness go away?

I had lower blepharoplasty 3/3/16 and now I feel my eyes look worse than before surgery. My left eye is either swollen or puffy and both eyes are very dark. Before surgery they were not this dark and my bags didn't stand out this much. I feel it is worse than before. The ps said he removed some fat and I had darkness so the surgery wouldn't change that. Of course he didn't say this before. Will the color change and will the puffiness go away. I feel horrible
