What Are the Chances of Webbing Being Corrected with Scar Massage?

Though not very common, webbing in the inner (medial) part of the eye does happen in some patients healing from an upper eyelid lift. More often than not it is the result of the scar line contracting and creating a tense scar. The best treatment for this is the hardest one for a patient to accept. Massage and patience are the best prescription. This WILL improve in time and massage will help things along. Steroid creams may and may not help. I would not recommend an injection with steroids in your case though when the scar is very thick this can be an option. It must, however, be used very sparingly. I do not recommend any type of revision surgery for this problem because the revisions usually require more scarring than the web itself. 

If you can be patients and allow a few months to go by you will probably be pleased in the end. Keep massaging and allowing time to pass. Your patience will likely be rewarded.

I hope this info helps!

This may be corrected with massage and waiting a period of time is not inappropriate.You should see some improvement in a few months and if not perhaps a z plasty may need to be done.

Dear Kristina, while webbing is very frustrating immediately after blepharoplasty, the good news is with massage, time and patience they generally get much much better in a few months. Occasionally your surgeon may elect to inject steroid into them to speed the process along, although there are some risks involved that you should discuss first. Generally, if you are going to get injected I feel that they should do it when the scar is somewhat active still. Good luck!!
