Raised scar after upper eyelid surgery 2 years ago, professional advice please? (Photos)

Options at this point include scar revision (cutting the scar out and starting over) or observation. Likely, the scar is hidden when your lids are open. Risk of revision surgery is again having scarring issues but likely less than you have now. If the scars don’t bother you with your eyes open I would consider leaving it alone.

Hi your best bet would be to see your primary plastic surgeon. The scar might be examined better in person. Doing a steroid shot would definitely be helpful. you can also consider co2 laser treatment

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Although upper blepharoplasty scars are well hidden and sometimes very hard to detect, there is a group of patient with scars like yours. Scar is a response to an injury and, in your case, it is based on your biological response. I do not think that this scar can be significantly improved with treatments like laser, re-excision?? Hope this helps.

The first thing I recommend is nightly lateral rolling massage with a q tip and skin medica scar gel, I have my patients do this for a year after surgery and it really flattens the scar nicely. The second option is a CO2 laser where we pass over the scar, this will likely flatten the scar and tighten the skin, but could be red for months (can cover with make up).

your scars are a little folded, but not unusually so.

There are a few options. Regular application of some silicone product may help. Otherwise accept what you have as it looks like a fairly good result. Your third option would be to consider a revision, but people who make problematic scars, this will take you all the back to day one and you'll be on the same two year journey before you know if it's made an improvement.

Hope that helps. I have answers to many questions like this on my YouTube channel Adam goodwin surgery if you would be interested.
