Will I have visible scars from eyelid surgery?

No scar is completely invisible, but eyelid scars are about as good as it gets.  After the scar remodels and the redness is gone, they are effectively invisible.  I think for facial aging, properly performed eyelid surgery gives the most for the least. http://www.zubowicz.com/subpag,22-atlanta-eyelid.htm

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty scars are placed in the natural fold of the upper eyelid and should only be visible with the eyelids closed. These scars heal very well and are usually very faint. The lower eyelid scars can be placed inside the lower eyelid--the transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty--and thus are... more

Upper eyelid surgery is performed through an incision placed along the natural eyelid fold which is not visible. IA small extension of this incision extends out about 1/4 to 1/2 beyond the natural eyelid fold into a crows foot with minimal visibility.  Lower eyelid surgery can be performed without... more

Visible scars after eyelid surgery are uncommon if done correctly. Typically the upper eyelid scars are made in the crease of the upper eyelids and generally heal well in people of all skin types. My preference is to use dissolvable sutures and glue which minimize the stitch lines. In the lower eyelids, often... more

The eyelid skin is the thinnest in the body, typically correlating with fairly imperceptible scars. With upper eyelid surgery, the only exception to this rule is if the incision is carried too far toward the nose (where the skin is thicker), a webbing effect can occur. This is an easy complication to prevent.... more

With respect to the lower eyelid, the incision is usually made on the inside portion of the eyelid. If there is redundant skin on the lower lid, an external incision is placed directly below the lash line and is closed with Histoacryl tissue adhesive (or "tissue glue"). This forms a miniscule fine... more

Not usually. For upper eyelid surgery, the incision is made in the natural eyelid crease. Once healed, this line is imperceptible. Lower eyelid surgery can be done with several different approaches. One of the approaches is done through the inside of the lower eyelid. There are no visible scars if this is done... more
