Very visible scars after upper eyelid surgery-scar revision? (Photo)

jugsbgone
I recently posted a question asking if I had a "dog ear" on the ends of my upper eyelid scars. Thank you for the responses. I am showing the scars on both eyes at almost 6 mos. after surgery. The scars do not fall into the creases, and I am very self- conscious of them. Would scar revision remove more skin? I feel like there is no extra skin to spare on my lids now. Would steroid shots help? I am very sorry at this point that I did not travel further to another surgeon to have this done.
