Hydrocortisone 1% 5 weeks after upper and lower bleparplasty. Any suggestions? (photos)

Asked By:hydeeb in United Kingdom, GB

Have been to my general practitioner. He agreed to perscribe hydrocortisone 1% ointment to soften scars for just 3-4 days. He said I should cone back in four days and if not any improvement I could be referred to a ophthalmologist. My surgeon in Czech Republic is of the opinion the cream could help but feels things will settle in time without interference.
