Its been exactly 8 weeks since my surgery and i know that everyone heals differently although i did not expect it to heal like this and this long. Obviously something went wrong. One eye has a dark and deep crease where the scar is and i cant imagine it ever healing properly at this rate and on the other eye is a keloid. Something has clearly gone wrong. Please help me.
