Cortisone injection or laser for treatment of scars after upper blepharoplasty??

Asked By:FUR_IS_4_ANIMALS in Scarsdale, NY

Hi, I have keloid scars at the outer corners of eyes after a upper blepharoplasty. They are very visible. What is the safest & most affective way to improve/remove them? One eye doctor has suggested C02 laser and another said that cortisone injection would be best? Would cortisone not thin the eye skin too much? I am 40 yrs old and would also like to tighten and improve the eye area, but I am worried about a C02 laser causing irreversible damage.....is it the best option? Any advice appreciated.
