I had an upper and lower eye bag removal 6 weeks ago. Now I have a visible scar below my right lower eyelash. My surgeon gave me a silcone gel and said to see him again in 3 months. Will this silcone gel sort the problem out?

Answer: Lower eyelid scarrng will typically resolve over time Lower eyelid scarring after a blepharoplasty typically will fade out over the course of six months. Nevertheless, there are some treatments that can hasten scar resolution like the use of mederma and silicone gel sheeting. Both exert occlusive and pressure effects on the scars which tend to help them fade more quickly. Silicon sheeting may be difficult to wear or adhere that close to the eye and silicone gel can also be used. There is no harm in doing something positive to help scars fade.

Answer: Eyelash Scar After Blepharoplasty
Subciliary incisions after Blepharoplasty tend to increase in thickness in the immediate postoperative period and will subside in thickness and width with time. Silicone sheeting is difficult to position under the eyelash. Continue aggressive massage as prescibed by your physician.
