How Well Do Blepharoplasty Scars Heal?

Fran in Orlando
I am 4 weeks post-op from lower Blepharoplasty. The incisions underneath the eyelash line have faded almost completely. The area I am concerned about is the smile-line incision(s) that extended out to the corner of my eyes. Do these scars tend to fade away as nicely over time? Currently they are still quite red and somewhat raised. Right now these scars make me look as if I have crows feet, which I did not have any trace of prior to surgery.
