Hello doctors, I'm 42 , black and I usually get keloid scar. ( Please see pic of my breast lift scar) I would like to get your advise In order to know if I'm a good candidate for blepharoplasty (uper and lower). I'm afraid to have face deformities or visible scar In my face. A P. surgeron already told me skin on face is very different of skin on body, so I don't have to be afraid for keloide scar. However, I'm still freaking out by the idea having a visible scar in my face. Please help me. Tx
