Why Do Still Have Black Eye 9 Weeks After Lower Eyelid Surgery?

half pint
I am 9 wks post op from lower lid bleph and have the shadow of a black eye that will not go away. help!  I had a lower lid bleph with reticular suspension 9 weeks ago. I was extremely swollen and bruised (age 53, fair skin). My only concern is this residual shadow of a black eye that won't go away. It is either tissue staining or the PA said possibly blood vessels? Either way will they go away in time?
