Should I use scar cream/gel on my eyelids after an upper eye blepharoplasty?

Asked By:jelllyb in San Francisco, California

I’m 4 weeks post-op & my surgeon suggested using any OTC scar cream/gel. However, the package instructions say to avoid the eye area. I’m wondering what other surgeons suggest. Also, my eyes feel dry + tight (like pinching) in the corners + one corner has some slight swelling. Thanks so much!
