I am considering getting the bag under my eyes removed. The doctor said that it is done behind the eye. Can I develop keloids?Also, he is wanting to use a laser to tighten my skin. I am Hispanic and worried about developing darkness or discoloration around my eyes. Any suggestions?

Answer: Keloids of the eyelids Keloids of the eyelids are especially rare due to the modified epithelium. Keloids of the conjunctiva which your surgeon has advised is almost unheard of. You are corret that a laser or any resurfacing procedure could result in darkening of the skin but proper pre and post treatment care should minimize this risk

Answer: Keloid inside?
the T-c incision notoriously heals without scarring. so don'y worry. however, laser on type IV skin, light brown typically asian or hispanic, can be done but with some trepidation because of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation ( browning), so pretreatment and posttreatment using peel and bleach creams is a must. even then a light TCA peel may be a better choice.
