Please help. The scars in the corner of my eyes are getting more visible and look horrible. They are also red, and with bumps. I have been massaging them for the last week and putting warm compresses on them as surgeon instructed, but they seem to be getting worse! What can I do about his, and is this bad stitching or will it get better eventually? Thank you so much for your replies.

Answer: Healing blepharoplasty Carina. You are in the acute healing phase of your blepharoplasty/canthopexy. The scars will look the worst from approx week 4 to week 6. They are indeed inflamed and irregular. With time they will relax and likely improve. There are several types of medications that can be injected and a few topical treatment (silcone, steroids etc). I would follow your surgeons recs at this point and continue to massage and make sure to keep the scars out of the sun.

Answer: Your photos show 'normal' healing but you do have a bunch at the lateral end of your lower lid incision. The other incisions remain fine lines. What does your surgeon say about this? If you haven't discussed with your surgeon, that is the best place to start. But your scars do not appear alarming in your photos and it will improve and lid scars are rarely an issue.
