I am prone to keloid scarring. Can keloids form on the face?

spaceprincess95
Hi, I'm a 24-yr old female of Asian descent. I got one small keloid scar on my shoulder following skin tag removal, I believe it was burned off. This happened when I was around 16.   I then had my ears pierced when I was 21, but no keloid.   I wanted to get some procedures done on the face, still thinking about them but currently wanting: 1. Asian double eyelid surgery 2. Dimpleplasty 3. Rhinoplasty   Can I get keloid from these 3 procedures? Can a keloid form on the face at all?
