Eyelid Surgery + Cream Q&A

Im 4 weeks post-op & my surgeon suggested using any OTC scar cream/gel. However, the package instructions say to avoid the eye area. Im wondering what other surgeons suggest. Also, my eyes feel dry + tight (like pinching) in the corners + one corner has some slight swelling. Thanks so much!

Some say to massage the scars, others not? When should one massage a scar? Can you massage in bio Corneium scar gel? How do you message, circular, across? How often, how long?

Is there a cream for raised scar from blepharoplasty over 2 years ago? I didn't think Mederma could be used around eyes. My eyelids are also still very red.

Hello! I was wondering if there are any steps I can take to remedy this dark area surrounding my eye that has gotten worse over the last few years. I have read about creams for lightening and acids or some combination of both as treatment but I do not know if they would solve my issue or why my eyes are dark all around in the first place. Is there something I can do that does not involve a procedure being done or is that my only option? Thank you!

I have had hooded eyes my whole life. Now that I am older (44), they have gotten much worse even though I have been religiously applying skin tightening creams. I wear glasses and my eyelids are so bad that they rub the lenses when I laugh or smile and they leave oil smudges several times a day. That can be really dangerous, especially when driving. Insurance - can this be corrected under medical necessity and not elective cosmetic? If so, what do I need to do?

I am not ready for tear trough filler and wonder if retinol eye cream can work well over time?

Also, how long after having lower bleh surgery can one return to giving bjs (asking for a friend)?

I do not want to go with surgery for terating my under-eye circles. What eye cream could be useful for me?

Im 19, but ever since I was little Ive had hollow eyes. Due to my hollow eyes, it always makes me look more tired than I actually am. Which is frustrating. They are also pretty impossible to conceal. Because I am still quite young, Im assuming getting a filler or a surgical procedure would be too much for me at this point. Im wondering if theres any cream or serum that helps with younger people who have this problem. Or any other route Ive not heard of that I can take. Thanks!

I have terrible under eye bags which I was told were tear troughs? A doctor advised I get fillers when I am older but I really don't want to get surgery or injections, is there any creams or actions that could at least improve them a little? Done some research which said the tear troughs might be caused by fat, if I exercised would that go away? This is completely destroying my self confidence and people keep telling me to 'grow to love them' but i really really can't do that. PLease help me!
