This can be excised surgically.  Once closed you will get a small scar that should heal nicely.  ...............................

The scar needs to be excised and the underlying muscle needs to be stitched back together to reduce the depression. It is simple and can be done just under local anesthesia in the office. RegardsDr.J

The scar can be excised and closed under local anesthesia in the office.  This should correct this deformity and result in an almost imperceptible scar.

If your examination is favorable, microdroplet Silikon-1000, an off-label filler for permanent results, may be considered for filling the indentation on your right upper eyelid after your surgical procedure.Hope this helps you.Dr Joseph

You have a post surgical depressed scar. Instead of feeling "horrible", please contact a facial plastic or occuloplastic surgeon for a scar revision.
