The doctor told me the stitches are dissolvable and no need to remove them though i can see the stitches cause the suture to be irregular.. So i want to speed up the healing of those scars .. i heard about eyelid co2 fractional laser .. and that it will help get back to normal regular eyelid skin look.

Answer: Co2 laser after bleph Thank you for the photos. My only concern is the shade of your skin. CO2 lasering can transiently lighten or darken skin after treatment. There is a lot of shadowing in the photo. Assuming that you are lighter skinned I would say that you can get CO2 lasered immediately. The downside is that you will swell up again for 1 week with another week of redness of the skin. The upside is that it will also tighten your skin slightly giving you an overall smoother appearance to the upper lid skin. Get a large pair of sunglasses and plenty of sunscreen for your aftercare and you'll do well.

Answer: Blepharoplasty Scar Management Hi there, You are still in the early phase of healing and should certainly wait for your scar to mature (at least 6 months) before proceeding with ablative lasers to your eyelids. In the meantime, you can go to your plastic surgeon for a medical-grade topical for the scar to assist in the healing process.
