Gentle massage for scarring may help

Jeffrey Zwiren, MD answers: Silicone gel for eye bag removal scarring

I had an upper and lower eye bag removal 6 weeks ago. Now I have a visible scar below my right lower eyelash. My surgeon gave me a silcone gel and said to see him again in 3 months. Will this silcone gel sort the problem out?

The silicone gel may help in the lower eyelid region but most scars in this zone do quite well on their own. Be careful not to get it in you eye. May be best just to massage the scar 10 times a day. I have found that these scars respond well with gentle massage.
