Cosmetic surgery procedures require a disciplined approach to scars, whether or not the incisions are placed on the face or body. In our Los Angeles plastic surgery clinic, we recommend that patients follow basic wound healing guidelines followed by the application of Plato’s Scar Serum twice daily once the skin is healed. If the incisions are prone to pigmentation, addition of Melarase PM is required. After a few weeks, the skin heals over and laser therapy is initiated to further improve scarring.

You are still swollen after surgery. The conjunctiva (white of the eye) also swells and that is chemosis. Chemosis can persist from transient damage to the conjunctival lymphatics. However, the most common issue for persistent chemosis is drying and exposure. This is...
While it may be true that the sutures will dissolve on their own (I do not use dissolving sutures with this procedure), I'd recommend that you request that the doctor remove as much of this material now as is possible to decrease the possibility of permanent scarring. Good luck!
It looks like you would get a great result from an upper blepharoplasty. That procedure removes the excess fullness in the upper lids (below the brows). The scar heals incredibly well and is well hidden in the natural crease. I personally perform these in the office, no need for an OR. We remove...
If this persists like this, then this may very well benefit from a revisional procedure. However, surgery was not even 2 weeks ago. While I very much think you look amazing considering how recent surgery was and most people would have no idea that you just had surgery, you are still...
I usually have my patients use aquaphor. It is avalable over the counter in most drug stores. I like it because it is mild and does not cause allergic reactions like some other ointments.
