5 months post Asian blepharoplasty + epicanthoplasty. Will these scars heal over time? (Photo)

scarlettyDec 12, 2018
Recently I developed a new epi scar on my right eye, it's still red and white at the corner. An extended webbing folded line that stretches out of nowhere at the corner. My left eye - there's a scarline that looks like extra skin, it is darker than surrounding skin and hideous, soft. Will these scars heal over time? It looks like extra skin that doesn't blend with the overall. My eyes don't look natural either. I know there's residue swelling but the overall shape looks crooked.
