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: Time heals most wounds... 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.

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.
