My Daughter Has a 1cm Cut About 5mm Below the Right Eye?

My daughter has a cut 1cm about 5mm below the right eye.The cut has been closed back using glue 2 days ago but we are scared the wound would leave a scar on her face. What would be the best way to treat her wound so that it wont leave any scar on her face. Do we have to do any plastic surgery or apply any medicine so that there is no scar in her face. Deeply worried.
