Im getting a rhino/septoplasty. I suffer from dark circles already. Should I worry surgery might make them worse? (photo)

Asked By:Jaystar92 in Melbourne, FL

I also get hey fever and allergies quite a bit due to my sinuses, (hence the need for surgery), so I don't know if that may be a factor as to why I have them at the level they are now, despite my use of the best eye creams and syrums, etc. I was going to get an IPL laser treatment before I get my rhinoplasty anyway to help clear those veins which I can just notice and maybe some darkness, but I don't know if it will do anything.
