Asked By:Josephinec

I have skin pinch blepharoplasty one week ago.Before that,I did a thorough research on this procedure and its complications.The incision is barely visible because it is done right under the eyelashes.But I clearly see the incision scar after the swelling is gone.i knew the scar takes at least 6 months to heal.What can I do to make the incision line appear softer and smoother?Can I do fractional laser resurfacing to get rid of it?
