4 weeks post upper eyelid surgery, scars above natural crease line. Is this expected
Answer: Blepharoplasty and position of the scar. should the scars have lowered into crease by now? Thank you for your question and congratulation for your recent operation. I agree wit the other colleagues in saying that often swelling masks the cosmetic result and it takes time for everything to settle. 4 weeks are not enough and you will have to exercise patience for several more months. Bare in mind that most of the time, the residual scars following a blepharoplasty are nearly invisible. If you have a major concern with regards to the scars, do contact your surgeon and ask for an early review. I am sure you will be fine.All the best.Andrea Marando

Answer: 4 weeks post-op At 4 weeks you may still have some swelling. This can alter the appearance of the crease. If the incision was made high, with time it may settle in so that you won't see it with your eyes open. Give it at least 6 months. If still too high and visible, you may be able to do a revision to eliminate the high crease.

Answer: Upper eyelid incision scar in crease ? The upper eyelid crease is determined by underlying attachments to a specific muscle, not just where the superficial incision is. It also has to do with hollowness around the eyes. Best to submit photos or see an oculoplastic specialist in person for more accurate response.

Answer: 4 weeks post op scar Thank you for sharing your concerns. The incision for upper eyelid blepharoplasty should be in the crease line. Give some more time to pass, because it is still relatively too soon post op to determine results. Scars usually fully heal in up to 1 year, so it might not even be seen. Good luck.
