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?

Dissolving stitches after blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, usually begin to break down within two weeks and are no longer visible by the third week. The exact timeline depends on the type of suture material used and the individual's body. Here are some other things to know about blepharoplasty...
Hi Anthony,
The cost of blepharoplasty varies depending on whether you have upper, lower, both, and whether it is performed in the surgeon's office with or without an anesthesiologist. The price may vary from $2500 to $10000. Choose your surgeon carefully to avoid costly revisions. Good luck...
Dry eyes are a serious contraindication for blepharoplasty. Excess skin is removed during blepharoplasty which tends to open the eye, exposing the eye to more air which has a drying effect and can make dry eyes worse.
Serious dry eyes can lead to damage to the cornea a very serious condition...
