Hi I still have webbing of the skin at the inner corners of eyes 17 days after upper blepharoplasty! Is this normal? I have rang the hospital where i was operated and the nurse told me it was quite normal, that is due to swelling and the scars pulling. She assured me it will go away over a period of weeks to months as the scar tissue softens. Also i have a very lump like thick scar on the right outer corner of my eye which is very obvious! I would appreciate any feedback! Many thanks in advance.
Answer: These scars will soften and be much less conspicuous as you heal.
I think the nurse has given you sound advice. I do agree with you that there are some issues with how the eyelids appear. However, as you heal, it is very likely this minor issues will soften and become much less apparent. This might take 6 months or so. At that point, any think that is still bothering you might be considered for a small revision procedure.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Apply Plato's scar serum twice daily combined with scar laser treatment Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and RF therapy to help reduce the longterm effects of the scarring. Keloids, hypertrophic scars, widened scars, red scars, and hyperpigmented scars all require scar modulation with topical creams followed by lasers and RF therapy. Topical skincare should be directed to a specific need, whether for pigmentation or hypertrophy and our office can guide you through the process to obtain the correct Plato’s Scar cream or Melarase cream for hypertrophy and discoloration. In terms of lasers, we would employ the vbeam laser for redness, Venus Viva RF, PRP microneedling, chemical peels, and Morpheus 8, fractional erbium, or fractional co2. All of these have their individual benefits. Most of all, we recommend you visit a solid plastic surgeon who understands surgical scar revision, laser therapy, and RF therapy for scars.

Answer: Nothing to be worried about so far after blepharoplasty.
There's nothing in the photograph that generates concern in my opinion based on the early convalescence. Follow the recommendations of your plastic surgeon and I think it's very likely you will get an excellent result.
