Had blepharoplasty (Rt eye) & ptosis correction (Lt eye) performed ~4.5 wks ago. Now, inner corners have hypertrophic scars (steroid injections 3 days ago), redness, tightness, & mild pain. Left eyelid feels numb & swollen. Right eyelid has secondary creasing from hypertrophic scarring at inner corner. Is this normal recovery? Should I be using silicone gel sheets? Should I continue to massage my scars? Pls help. Thanks v much.
