Scars 5 Mm Above Crease Line Visible After Bleph? (photo)

However, it is possible that the skin will heal very nicely.  If so the scar will not be noticeable.  Generally we are looking to have the scar fold under the upper eyelid fold.  Clearly that is not happening here.  I recommend keeping an open mind, giving yourself time to heal and not have further eyelid surgery with this surgeon.

Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and RF therapy to help reduce the longterm effects of the scarring. Keloids, hypertrophic scars, widened scars, red scars, and hyperpigmented scars all require scar modulation with topical creams followed by lasers and RF therapy. Topical skincare should be directed to a specific need, whether for pigmentation or hypertrophy and our office can guide you through the process to obtain the correct Plato’s Scar cream or Melarase cream for hypertrophy and discoloration. In terms of lasers, we would employ the vbeam laser for redness, Venus Viva RF, PRP microneedling, chemical peels, and Morpheus 8, fractional erbium, or fractional co2. All of these have their individual benefits. Most of all, we recommend you visit a solid plastic surgeon who understands surgical scar revision, laser therapy, and RF therapy for scars.

Although the incision is slightly higher than your crease, the incision will continue to improve drastically over the next few weeks. At 3 months, you should have an accurate assessment of the final outcome. Please be patient.

You may want to see your surgeon in a couple weeks as sometimes, injection with steroid and/or 5 FU medication may improve/hasten scar resolution

Good luck
