Can my eyelid scar be lowered so it will be in the crease? I had an Eyelid lift and the incision was not placed in the crease. You can see my scar with my eye open. I am wondering if anyone can fix this?
Answer: Lowering eyelid scar is possible
Is is posisible to lower your upper eyelid scar, but it is not always so easy. It depends on the laxity (looseness) of your scar both above and below the incision, as well as the amount of fat (or lack thereof).
A better solution may be to laser the scar with a laser that will remove the redness, rendering the scar virtually undetectable without having to undergo another surgery. Of course, it goes without saying, you should be wearing sunscreen and practicing sun avoidance (hat and sunglasses) to prevent further darkening of the scar.

Answer: Eyelid incision not in crease can be fixed
Looking at the photograph, it looks like it can be however 1. It has to be matched to the other side 2. Removing more skin to close the gap may cause your eye to have problems closing 3. nothing should be done before atleast 4 months. Most times an incision line like this will resolve almost imperceptibly. I would wait and see how it looks 4 months after surgery. If you were to have it fixed I would have someone who does blepharoplasty revision surgery perform the case. This person would have experience with this relatively uncommon problem.
