Hi, I have keloid scars at the outer corners of eyes after a upper blepharoplasty. They are very visible. What is the safest & most affective way to improve/remove them? One eye doctor has suggested C02 laser and another said that cortisone injection would be best? Would cortisone not thin the eye skin too much? I am 40 yrs old and would also like to tighten and improve the eye area, but I am worried about a C02 laser causing irreversible damage.....is it the best option? Any advice appreciated.
I did an upper blepharoplasty slightly more than one month ago (Surgery dated 19/5/2015) keloid like scars seems to form at the inner eyelid. I've consulted 3 doctors so far where 2 of them concluded that I can only smoothen the keloid scarring through laser. It has slightly flattened and less reddish after I went for a steroid injection (Triamcinolone) but the itching is back. Please help!
I am considering getting the bag under my eyes removed. The doctor said that it is done behind the eye. Can I develop keloids?Also, he is wanting to use a laser to tighten my skin. I am Hispanic and worried about developing darkness or discoloration around my eyes. Any suggestions?
Hi, I'm a 24-yr old female of Asian descent. I got one small keloid scar on my shoulder following skin tag removal, I believe it was burned off. This happened when I was around 16. I then had my ears pierced when I was 21, but no keloid. I wanted to get some procedures done on the face, still thinking about them but currently wanting: 1. Asian double eyelid surgery 2. Dimpleplasty 3. Rhinoplasty Can I get keloid from these 3 procedures? Can a keloid form on the face at all?
Dear Doctors, could you please advise on the treatment ( lasers, etc) to resolve the crepey texture under eyes (on upper cheek margin) developed a year ago. I have Botox regularly. Eye product used - AOX and Environ C-quence eye gel, diligent with SOF. I am 4O and very upset about the issue. I am prone to keloid scarring. I had a filler a year ago but it didnt help the issue at all. Thank you.
Im thinking of having some plasmage to get rid of my heavy upper eyelid. Can anyone advise me pls if this has any inplication with the skin in the future?. Would plasmage work?, Or is it better to go under the knife?. Im afraid to have a proper surgery as I have keloid scars from ceaserian and Im very afraid this could happen with my eyelid scars. Any advise would be highly appreciated. Many thanks
I had upper and lower eye lid surgery 3 weeks ago and I can see a scar forming in both upper eye lids, area close to the tear duct,and a bit along the corners of both lower eye lids. I tend to form keloids but my surgeon assured me he had never ever seen a keloid in the upper lids and I researched it on the web and most physicians agreed with him. My surgeon says I should wait scar still swollen, etc. Please advise, I am very, very worried. thank you in advance.
I think that was too long. I read that typically the stitches need to be taken out between 5-7 days post surgery. I also noticed now that on the scar lines, there are some tiny bumps, look like keloid formation. I am depressed now.
Hello doctors, I'm 42 , black and I usually get keloid scar. ( Please see pic of my breast lift scar) I would like to get your advise In order to know if I'm a good candidate for blepharoplasty (uper and lower). I'm afraid to have face deformities or visible scar In my face. A P. surgeron already told me skin on face is very different of skin on body, so I don't have to be afraid for keloide scar. However, I'm still freaking out by the idea having a visible scar in my face. Please help me. Tx
I'm really worried because I have a chalazion on my lower eyelid near the tear duct, basically on the waterline of the eye, and if I have to have surgery to remove it is it possible to get hypertrophic scars/ keloids there? Because I'm really prone to having those and I don't want one on my eyes!
