Will scarring affect eyelid surgery? (Photo)

Question

I’ve had eyelid surgery before and it hasn’t had the desired effect, it is still a few mm from where it would need to be to match up with my other eye. Because of scarring on my eye from the surgery I wondered if it would even be possible to get it done again?

Andrew Choi, MD · Answer

Even though there exist scar but revision surgery can be done. But you have to wait until scar softens and it usually takes about 4-6 months after initial surgery.

Thanks for inquiry.

Hello!You can have the sutured method, so the scars are not well seen. In order to match the two eyes, you still would need to have the ptosis correction procedure to both eyes. Good luck!Dr. Ha, Seoul Queen PS, South Korea
