Hello. am left with upper blepha scars i had 2 years ago; high, red, visible and atrophic.Had several treatments in the past 2 years ( first revision no improvement , injection of hylarionic acid, Plexr and two sessions of erbium laser but cannot see any improvement). One dr asked me to stop the laser as it will only make the scars red,so i did. He suggested carboxytherapy and vascular laser & another dr. suggested phenol peeling of the eyelid? I am lost. What treatment shall i go for ? thnx

Answer: Too much! To many treatments Probably one of the better things you could do at this time would give your tissue some time to rest. These types of scars for eyelid surgery are interesting because they do not come up very often. I have noticed some scars like this in patients to have very soft elastic skin. They're the types of patients to be very young and have procedures such as breast augmentation with implants and in their early 20s within a few years they notice they feel like they need a breast lift because of sagging of the breast. Patients were extremely flexible or have skin that naturally stretches are susceptible to this kind of scarring.All that being said, I would allow your skin and tissue to rest and simply hide it with makeup. At most you might want to try some platelet rich plasma injections to maybe improve the color. But giving your tissue time to rest and go untreated might be best.Chase Lay MD

Answer: A little wide so you do have slightly widening scars laterally. if you are 2 years since surgery then for me, a small revision of the lateral scar will help the appearance. Remember however that you will be back to day one in terms of scar progression and will have a few weeks or months when the scars will have to settle down again. Hope that helps, Adam Goodwin
