What Do I Do About Visible Scars Post Eyelid Surgery?

I had upper eyelid surgery 2 years ago and am pleased with the look. However, the scarring on both eyes is very visible when wearing makeup. The makeup outlines the scar, making it very obvious. Please give me some advice.

I have no idea what went wrong, but almost certainly, your scars can be improved with a relatively simple scar revision.
