Atrophic visible scarring after upper blebh Eyelid Surgery - can they be revised? (photos)

Question

Can reconstructive surgery correct my visible eyelid scars after upper blebh, so that they appear a bit lower to camouflage to my own crease, or closer to it? My specialized plastic surgeon said scars will stay within my own natural crease, then aid he had to wing it due to excess skin. However, they go too high and they do not camouflage well at all in my own natural shape or laugh lines. I hate them so much as they are constantly there, visible and sunken. Can they be revised?

My recommendation would be to start with using a silicone scar gel twice a day to that area. In the future, injections to the scar might be necessary. Rarely laser or light therapies can help with pigmentary issues related to scaring-- but this is rarely necessary for eyelid skin. These measures along with time will usually improve the appearance of these scars. I would consult with an oculofacial surgeon. 
Be well,
