Which procedure would help improve the appearance of upper blepharoplasty scars? 11 months post op (photos)

Question

I had blepharoplasty in March 2022 that involved levator muscle advancement etc. It really improved my expression that used to look very tired or sleepless due to the droopiness on my eyelids. However, there are visible scars that, to me, look unusually prominent... my doctor says just keep it from the sun, but no more measures to get rid of them... are there any procedures that could help me? Thanks!

Upper blepharoplasty surgery typically leaves visible scars that are only visible when people close their eyes.
Other people typically don’t see these because most of the time when you’re with other people your eyes are open.
It’s not unusual for people to have a gradual color change in the skin of the eyelids.
When a strip of skin is removed, then the very gradual change in skin color becomes more abrupt and this becomes visible.
This is the drawback of having the procedure.
There’s nothing to do to improve the appearance of the scar. Most people are not concerned about this since it’s not visible to others.
Eyelids typically heal very well, and I don’t think there’s anyway to improve the appearance of your scar.
People who have pigmented skin may see hypo pigmentation along the scar.
This is very normal.
