Asked By:snowberry93 in Indonesia

It has been 5 months after my asian eyelid surgery and my scar is still lumpy and bumpy, the hypertrophic scar didn't disappear. I have steroid injection and silicon gel, but it still lumpy and didn't flatten completely. I am worried that it will not flatten. Will it flatten? Any other treatment that will help my scar? Will picosure laser help?

Answer: Your scar can still flatten with time from normal movement like blinking, but there are treatment options that can also help
