I had upper blepharoplasty last year in February, so 17 months now. And its left disgusting scars on both eyelids, but my right side is worse. They look like train tracks and they are very visible and left me feeling self-conscious. These scars are not going anywhere no matter what cream or gel i use. I know the eyelids are very sensitive and i wouldn't want lasers going anywhere near them, what can I do? Is there something out there for eyelid scars? Thank you.
