Scars Are Red, Bumpy and Itchy from Asian Eye (Belpharoplasty) Surgery, Is This Normal? (photo)

I received Asian upper eyelid surgery with regular suture and a radiowave scalpel. It’s been 3 months and I still have a deep carved scar from the incision, redness, and bumpiness. There are also random bumps and droopiness in front of my eyelid. 1. What causes these and Will/Can this redness, deep-cut scars, bumps and droopy skin disappear and healed? 2. Sometimes, eyelash and incision/cut area itches. What is causing this and should I be worried? Thank you in advance.

It takes a full year for a scar to mature. Your incisions are red and itchy but there are treatments available which may expedite the healing process. Have your surgeon evaluate your scars to determine what treatment is best for you.

Hard to know without a physical examination.

However, it appears your upper eyelid incision was irregular. At three months you have healed quite a bit but I would recommend healing another 3 months before considering doing something about this issue. Over a long period of time, these tend to soften and improve.
