It's been about three years since I had upper eyelid surgery but my scars are still visible. What can I do to rid of it?

Question

it's white compared to the rest of my skin  Please help

Ramiro Morales, Jr., MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  From what you say, and without photos, it sounds like normal healing if you have a thin white line for a scar.  Once you cut the skin, there will always be some sort of visible scar.  If it is just a thin white line then this is normal, expected, and OK

Mark Beaty, MD · Answer

Any incision will leave a scar, generally, eyelids incisions become almost invisible.  Without photos it is difficult to say whether your incisional scars are within the normal range.  If you are concerned about their appearance, an in person consultation is best to determine proper treatment.

Paul Nazemi, MD · Answer

Various treatment options exist, depending on the size and extent of the scar.  The options range from silicone scar removal gel or injection of dilute steroid to surgical removal/ revision of the scar.  A specialist can help.  Good luck.
