Will scarring fade 2 years after I've had double eyelid surgery? (Photo)

November 26, 2021
Asked By:ellered

I underwent full incisional double eyelid surgery in March 2020. Before the surgery, I had multiple folds which often made blinking difficult/feel heavy. I told my surgeon that I didn't want my crease to be any higher or lower. I wanted the procedure for functional purposes. It has now been almost two years post op and while I am able to blink much easily, there is still a deep, unnatural scar near the corners of my eyes and it's still a bit swollen in that area. What can I do to fix this?
