I have been using the silicone gel for my post operative care. I had slashes that did not follow the normal crows feet area, but rather extend out past by brow. Should I continue since I have enough gel for another 6 months, or should I use in the summer only? Can the sun still damage the scars after one year?

Answer: I would consider scar revision after a year But I would like to see photos of the scars first.The scars that extend past the eye bone don't heal well. A browlift is a better alternative if you have that much extra skin that skin incision needs to pass the eye bone.

Answer: Scars on Eyelids I suggest posting photos or coming in for an in person evaluation. In my experience topical creams are only minimally effective for scars, although I do have all my patients on biocorneum regardless. Most of my patients get laser treatments to improve the texture and appearance of scars. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: I remember you photos from shortly after your surgery-terrible. I hope you have progressed after your surgery. Generally there should be no value in continuing to use silicone gel. If you scars have persisted to be unacceptable, it is probably time to consider surgical revision.
