Risks of a Steroid Injection on 'Dog Ear' Scars on Upper Lids, 2 Years Later.

A "dog ear" refers to an area along an incision of excess skin.  Although you are apprehensive, excision of the excess skin is the best way to correct this issue.  The relative risk to this type of correction should be minimal.  I would only suggest steroids for thickened, hypertrophic scars.  Steroid injections will not alleviate skin excess.  Good Luck

The risk can be minimal if done conservatively.  Revisional surgery or scar revision may be a valid option too if again done conservatively.  See an oculoplastic surgeon.
