Asked By:pebblesandbam in La Canada Flintridge, CA

I got asian double eyelid surgery revision a month ago (to make the crease height higher). I have a thickened scar on the inner corner of my right eye that is currently affecting the shape of my new crease. I’m worried that the scar is a keloid and that it will continue to affect the final shape of my eyelid crease. I’m currently using scar cream to (hopefully) help flatten the raised scar. Is there anything else I can do? Will my right eyelid continue to be more of an “L” shape v my left eye?
