Silicone Gel for Eye Bag Removal Scarring

I have not seen much improvement of scars with use of silicone gel. Usually time heals most scars on the eyelid very well. Even at one year post-surgery I have seen improvements. For an early scar, which is thick or red, I suggest a short course of steroid cream. This usually helps the inflammatory component of the scar to improve quickly.I hope this is helpful to you and others who are concerned about eyelid scars.

Silicone gel is somewhat effective in management of keloids and hypertrophic scars.  However, Eyelid skin is the thinnest in the human and typically heals very well.  Unless you truly have a hypertrophic scar on your lid or a truly unusual case, silicone gel is unlikely to add anything significant to the natural healing process.

Scarring of only the right lower eyelid after upper and lower blepharoplasty implies that you sleep on the right side. Silicone gel is a Little bothersome. I would massage, give it six months , and if the appearance does not improve, consider a revision, and change your sleeping patterns.

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.

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.
