Need revision for white scars 1 1/2 years after blepharoplasty (Photo)

December 9, 2016
Asked By:faith74819 in Westlake Village, CA

I have these visible white scars after I had bleph done by a reputable ocular surgeon it is now a year and a half later post surgery. The Dr. has offered to redo the incisions only this time he said he would suture inward not outward and "hopefully" that would fix the scars. I'm very hesitant now and don't want to make them worse. Is t his solution a viable option by suturing the skin inward? Is there anything else I could do to make them better
