I had the eyelid surgery on Feb 10th and the stitches removed Feb 18th. I am so very worried that the incisions are too high. My PS told me that was the only way to move the excess pocket of skin I had. I am so NOT happy. What do you think? What can I do now?
Answer: Way Too High Thank you for your pictures. Your incisions are not in the appropriate place. They are basically beneath the brow and this is not where the incisions are located to address the issues and produce a cosmetic result.Dr.ES

Answer: Scars with eyelid surgery Hi. Scars are always very obvious for the first 6-8 weeks - they will fade a lot in the next few months. Most upper eyelid scars you have to look hard to see by 6 months postoperatively - it is unusual to have to do other treatments for scars on the upper eyelid. At this stage in a week or so start massaging the scars and use makeup to conceal them. Try to be patient at this stage and wait until all the postoperative

Answer: The appearance of your upper eye lid incisions may improve with time. Your photos are limited for evaluation, and a definitive answer to your question can not be provided without an examination.Your red, partially visible incisions will lighten and become less evident with time. You may have a degree of ptosis (eyelid droopiness) that may be due to swelling, or may have been present preoperatively. You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon or consider getting a second opinion. Worrying is never helpful.Hope this helps you.Dr. Joseph

Answer: Your blepharoplasty incisons look a little high. You usually want a crease in the 8-10mm above the lashes. This often corresponds to the natura crease. When it is made at this height, it should not be visible when your eyes are open. Your incision is visible. We also try to leave at least 10mm between the lid crease and the brow hair, and you appear to have less than that. Most eyelid incisions heal well, so it may be less apparent with time.

Answer: Eye lid incision location On most females the incision is in the natural crease or about 10mm up from eyelid margin. If no crease is there then making one with sutures to the levator at the 10mm level is performed with a few sutures. We do not have the before pictures to look at. It does appear your incision is above the 10mm mark that I use for my upper blepharoplasty procedures.
