Will my upper bleph scars ever become invisible? What can I do if they don't?

Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and RF therapy to help reduce the longterm effects of the scarring. Keloids, hypertrophic scars, widened scars, red scars, and hyperpigmented scars all require scar modulation with topical creams followed by lasers and RF therapy. Topical skincare should be directed to a specific need, whether for pigmentation or hypertrophy and our office can guide you through the process to obtain the correct Plato’s Scar cream or Melarase cream for hypertrophy and discoloration. In terms of lasers, we would employ the vbeam laser for redness, Venus Viva RF, PRP microneedling, chemical peels, and Morpheus 8, fractional erbium, or fractional co2. All of these have their individual benefits. Most of all, we recommend you visit a solid plastic surgeon who understands surgical scar revision, laser therapy, and RF therapy for scars.

First of all, you just had surgery less than two weeks ago.  Take it easy on yourself and realize that it takes the body time to heal.  That being said, I would reserve judgment on your final results for at least 3 to 4 months. 
When performing eyelid surgery, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon will make the incision inside the crease of the eyelid and suture underneath the lid, where the stitches cannot be seen. It is also fortunate that the skin on the eyelid is very thin and heals so well that the scars will be virtually invisible. Massaging the scar, once it's healed, can help break down the collagen and make it blend into surrounding skin faster.
I hope this helps!

You are very early in the healing phase.  We expect the scar to be visible for several weeks.  With time an upper eyelid scar should soften and flatten, and is usually minimally visible.  I would not be putting a lot of makeup onto it at this point if it appears inflammed still.  Some people will lose pigment in the scar, and will end up with a white line.  This is only visible with the eye closed and easily covered with makeup. So give yourself time to heal.  I would recommend some tinted glasses for now if you are concerned about the appearance.

It has only been 2 weeks since your surgery so what you are going through is a normal part of recovery.  It can take a few weeks for all the swelling to go down.  The scar will usually subside in the next few months.  Be patient, make sure to follow all the instructions given by your surgeon and follow up with you surgeon.  It will take some time but you will be better soon.

should get better as you continue to heal.  I personally like to use warm compresses to help with resolution of bruising.  Scars will continue to evolve and mature over time and predictably heal well with minimal long term issues.  So your bruising will impact your ability to resume life but it will go away.

I suspect what you are seeing is very normal. Typically after the first 1-2 weeks as some of the swelling goes down the incision can look very lumpy/bumpy, this is normal, it is due to the way that the skin is bunched/pulled together by the suture. Typically by 6-8 weeks post-operatively the incisions are significantly better and typically by 6 months the scars are near invisible. Their are scar gels that you could consider using now that the would is starting to heal, I prefer the silicone based gels (Kelo-Cote or ProSil), using a scar gel twice daily can hasten the scar remodeling process and get you to your final end point a little faster. Ultimately, if the scar is unacceptable to you once you have completely healed, laser resurfacing or dermabrasion can be used to improve the scar.

Dear 99sports, I would speak with your surgeon as most blepharoplasty patients have little to no bruising at a week let alone at twelve days post surgery. You may need to see someone for a secondary opinion to help provide you some answers or peace of mind regarding your healing. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
