I am 2 weeks out after upper blepharoplasty. I immediately noticed the scar on one of my eyes was more extended and impossible to hide. It's not at all what I expected. I expected it to be hidden in the fold. The other eye has a visible scar as well, though a bit shorter. I know you need a longer scar for more hooding but the eye with the longer scar just barely had hooding and the doc had to convince me to do both so they would be even. I'm very disappointed. Any way to correct it or am I stuck with it?

Dear Patient from Pittsburgh,Some of my favorite sunscreens are those known as mechanical blocks.These reflect UV rays and contain zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Also wearing good quality sunglasses and a hat when outside is advised.I hope this was helpful.
Thank you for your question. A Blepharoplasty (or eyelid surger) can create a more youthful and rejuvenated look by removing excess skin and fatty deposits, and tightening loose or sagging skin. I suggest that you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,
