Why do I have skin catching on my scars? (Photo)

Question

Thank you in advance! My eyelid scars extend past my eyes and the skin around the scars seem to build up around them creating very significant wrinkles. I had fine lines and a little crease when I smiled from some hooding, but nothing like this. I am just30, so I was hoping if you knew what happened and can it be fixed so I look more my age again. I try my best to use silicone sheets but I’m worried it won’t make it all smooth even after consistent usage.

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.
