Asked By:SStarr77 in Seattle, WA

It has been 7 weeks since I had lower blepharoplasty with fat transfer. under eyes still look a bit swollen and I also have a brownish color under my eyes that cannot be covered effectively with concealer (it looks greenish after covering it and its even worse under certain lighting (e.g yellow). Is this hemosiderin staining? would you recommend laser tx. and if so which one? how long does it take for this to fade? will auridemXL help?
