Hello doctors, after a viscous attack to my face on my way home 5 weeks ago I am left with a scar that has webbing pulling the end of my eyelid and top of my cheek together. Unfortunately I didn't get stitches at hospital at the time. It's been suggested that this could be improved by cutting the webbing and then possibly some laser surgery. I have been advised to do daily massage with bio oil and I'm putting on silicone gel at night. Can you suggest how best to approach this?
