Scarring After Upper Eye Lid Surgery

bluemoon52
I had upper and lower eye lid surgery 3 weeks ago and I can see a scar forming in both upper eye lids, area close to the tear duct,and a bit along the corners of both lower eye lids. I tend to form keloids but my surgeon assured me he had never ever seen a keloid in the upper lids and I researched it on the web and most physicians agreed with him. My surgeon says I should wait scar still swollen, etc. Please advise, I am very, very worried. thank you in advance.
