Age 56, white female, concerns with upper eyelid scar & positioning, recommendations? (Photos)

Question

Age 56 white female. Had upper blepharoplasty under local. Concerns re scar (looks like a fold) and positioning

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Blepharoplasty scars tend to heal very well but if there is a problematic scar there are options.  You will want to wait until your incision is fully healed before considering any revision to it.  This can typically be done after 9 to 12 months.  It is also important to protect this area from sun exposure which can worsen the appearance.  Elta MD makes a sunscreen that is not irritating to the eyes that you may consider.  I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Unfortunately some patients end up with wide and more noticeable scar after blepharoplasty. Scar revision including removal of lateral skin fold would be a simple option. You should discuss options for correction with your surgeon. Good luck.
