Had blepharoplasty (Rt eye) & ptosis correction (Lt eye) performed ~4.5 wks ago. Now, inner corners have hypertrophic scars (steroid injections 3 days ago), redness, tightness, & mild pain. Left eyelid feels numb & swollen. Right eyelid has secondary creasing from hypertrophic scarring at inner corner. Is this normal recovery? Should I be using silicone gel sheets? Should I continue to massage my scars? Pls help. Thanks v much.
I had an upper blepharoplasty done 15 weeks ago. The scars are still bumpy, and on one lid, there's a prominent red bulge. I've been massaging and using Dermatix (30 days so far), as directed by my doctor, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Should I be concerned at this point? I did not have dissolvable sutures.
I got a stye several times in my upper right eyelid 10 yrs ago, it causes a scar in my upper eyelid (Please see pics). Now it looks like i always have a stye and its bothering me. three doctors already perform operation to scrape the back of my eyelid if they can remove any residue cause by the stye but there was no improvement in the appearance of the scar. Can any surgery or laser treatment that can help remove this small bump scar in my upper eyelid?
I'm a female, almost 72 years old. 3 1/2 weeks ago I had lower blepharoplasty because I have hated my obvious eye bags for a very long time. My ps had told me she'd want to pinch the corners, but I wasn't prepared for the sleepy-eyed Asian look I've had, and the pinch in the corners is very tight and irritating. I've put some ointment on them at night to try to relax them. Is there anything I can do besides wait? Wondering if Botox into the corners might help.
I got double eyelid surgery (incesion method) and i was wondering if my scar from the surgery will fade over time. It's pretty red and the cut does not look smooth because the skin around the area is raised. Kinda bumpy(?) will time eventually make the scar go away making it look natural?
I fell from the top of a bunk bed. I got a cracked head and got surgery. I have a scar starting from the base of my hair at the front of my ear, all the way to the middle of my head in the front. I have an indent at the right top of my head. There is bump on the right side of my face (left in the photo). It has been mistaken as an allergic reaction or as if I got punched and it swelled. My face is uneven. Also my triple eyelids is an insecurity as well. What can I do? could insurance cover any?
I have this really bad facial asymmetry. One of my eyes is way higher than the other. This bothers me constantly because I dont know how to fix it. I dont know if my nose is what is causing it, I have a crooked nose with a bump.
Hi, I had a big chalazion on my lower left eyelid that I got surgically removed more than 2 years ago. However, there's still a bump on my lid. And it has been there for over 2 years now. I can't remember if it was this big after I had the chalazion removed, but it was there. I'm so stressed because of this. I went to a doctor. She gave me drops for dry eyes, and an ointment called Ocupol Dx. But it didn't help. Any idea what is it & how to fix it?
I had a blepharoplasty in December and the doctor made 2 incisions. One on the eyelid and the other one just below my eyebrow. This second incision has a strange bump at the end, which makes me look like a strange creature, not human. I have been to my doctor who minimizes this and says that he could cut me open to look what it is. But I don't want another surgery if it's not needed. I have been to another doctor who says it's simply scar tissue and I have to wait.
