Upper blepharoplasty surgery gone wrong: Developed multiple folds and raised scar on inner corner of eyelid (Photo)

September 2, 2022
Asked By:jocelynN66

I'm 4mo post-op. During healing, I dealt with bumps on the outer corner of the incision. My doctor said it's a reaction caused by dissolvable sutures not dissolving. I got steroid injections 2x. I'm left with minor bumps and ugly scarring. 1 surgeon said I have keloids. 2 others said just raised scars. I achieved 0 of what I asked for. Instead of getting the deep set look, I now have multiple folds and raised scars on inner eyelid. What went wrong? How do I fix this?
