Web scarring after Asian blepharoplasty - 6 months post-op. (Photos)

CharliepepperAug 2, 2017
I have very bad scaring after my second blepharoplasty. The doctor that I went to is a popular Asian plastic surgeon in Australia. But I feel that he does not want to help me and says that scars are expected. I can't even cover the scars up with makeup. It's very deep in the inner corners. What are my options to reduce the visibility of the scars? I am 6 months post op.

As for dosing you should simply follow the directions on the bottle.  There's really no standard dosing.  Eat plenty of fruits and veggies.  Avoid alcohol and salty foods.  Ask your surgeon.  Use Arnica for about 3-5 days prior and at least one week after surgery.Thats about it really.Chase Lay ...

It is still too early to comment on how your eyelids will look once they heal. Looking at the picture it seems like your surgeon did a fine job but we cannot comment for sure till you are at least 3 months post surgery.

Give it more time.  I see the asymmetry in the healing process but it is very slight.  Just be patient.  Follow up close with yours surgeon and maybe consider a little massage on the more swollen side.  Just be patient.  You look pretty good.Chase Lay MDAsian eyelid surgery specialist
