Blaze1984Jun 3, 2016

I'm 3 weeks post op. The red bruising under eye went away 10 days post op, but the dark circles seems to not improving. I was using retin a creams around my eye pre op, so I'm not sure if I have thinned the area too much in which the blood from the surgery is showing around my eyes. I didn't have dark circles pre op. Now I look like a panda!
