Post 30 days upper & lower blephs. Lower bleph scar has separated and widened. Raised nodule scar in outer corner of both eyes. Two distinct pimple looking growths on lower scar not resolving. How long do I need to wait for scar revision? What can I use now to improve the scarring? Do I need to get a 2nd opinion? My PS said he can fix it, but why wasn't it done correctly the first time? Would I need to undergo another surgery with anesthesia? Can you recommend an ASPS in Sarasota, FL?
