How Well Does Scar Tissue on Upper Eyelid Heal?

December 6, 2010
Asked By:Rosemead in Rosemead, CA

How well do scars on upper eyelids heal. I also dislike the idea that scar tissue grows inside (fibrosis) so how well does the scar inside the eyelid tissue layers heal, considering blood flow is good inside the eyelid. Also, I heard sometimes sutures are used in Asian eyelid surgery; are they permanent inside the eyelid? Doesn't that cause a body reaction?
