Question1: I had my double eyelid surgery done 2.5 weeks ago. It was latest Korean 3point method which claims to be scarless. But it seems to have a very obvious 3 holes on my upper eyelid and it's dark in Colour as well. What should I do to heal the scars completely? I'm using silicon gel after the stitches are removed, but it shows no progress of healing. Then I tried to apply rose hip oil instead. Which is better for healing?plus when will my eyelid swelling completely gone? My lid are thick

Answer: Always be skeptical of claims.
If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Scarless means different things to different people. If you skin is cut, there will be a scar. Now this scar is most likely to heal inconspicuously. It will be in the fold. You are swollen, which is to be expected. You need time to heal. With the bruising, this could take a month or more.

Answer: Asian eyelid surgery or Asian blepharoplasty healing
there is no such thing as no scar but their are incisions that are very difficult to see. Also, with regards to suture technique a "three point" technique is not new. In fact suture technique for Asian blepharoplasty or double eyelid surgery is approximately 400 years old. There are a variety of different names that surgeons will give to techniques that they use for marketing purposes. The three point technique simply means they used individual sutures as opposed to a running continuous suture. Those of us, like myself, who performed double eyelid surgery or Asian eyelid surgery as a core component of their practice know that you tailor everyone surgery to their eyelid anatomy, their personal goals, and what is in keeping with safety.
one last comment, I probably wouldn't put anything on the scars at this point. In fact if you're putting something on the eyelids that is moist frequently it can irritate the skin. Give it a little more time.
