What Can Help a Droopy Eye Caused by a Traumatic Scar Under the Eye Pulling It Down?

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Impossible to say for sure without a consultation but a cheek scar pulling down the eyelid can often be repaired by scar revision with Z-plasty. This technique helps to not only revise and reorient the scar (improve appearance) but also to lengthen the portion that is pulling down the eyelid (release the lid). With the limited information provided, this will likely be the best option.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

Sorry for her problems. Multiple scar revisions can be done over the course of a few years. Since no photos were posted hard to give exact answer. Best of Luck.
