Upper blepharoplasty dark scarring, What should I do to reduce the pigmentation? (Photo)

knwitk2
I had upper blephoraplasty 1 week and 2 days ago. I know it is very early to worry about scarring, however I do have a concern. On the outer portion of my eye a small portion of the scar is blacking or very blackish red. I am afraid this pigmentation may stay. What should I do to reduce the pigmentation? Will this dark pigmentation get better in time? What kind of products should I use to make sure the pigmentation does not stay this color?
