How to Hide Blepharoplasty Scars | Eyesthetica | Los Angeles, CA

[Music] foreign an oculofacial plastic surgeon a question I normally get is how to hide a blepharoplasty scar while you cannot completely or 100 make a scar disappear there are several factors we can take into consideration when planning your surgery and many tips during the Aftercare that will alter and soften the appearance of a scar the surgeon can plan the smallest possible incision within the natural eyelid crease so unless the eyelids are closed the scar is typically not very visible surgical technique is also very very important we take extra precaution to minimize the formation of the scar along the incision line by minimizing trauma and using the appropriate blade or cutting device when the procedure is complete suture technique and choosing the right material for skin closure come into play for example we prefer to use sutures that have to be removed as a dissolvable kind of sutures are associated with more inflammation close follow-up is important as well so in one week patients typically return to a clinic for suture removal and during this time we'll assess the healing process and provide Aftercare instructions to advise the appropriate timing to start applying a topical anti-scar medication we also like to remind our patients to stay out of the Sun as the UV light can pigment scars sometimes we can help speed up the scar disappearance by injecting an anti-scar medication ultimately the incision continues to remodel for months after surgery so it will continue to fade until hardly noticeable I hope this is really helpful for additional questions or if you would like a consultation please contact us thank you so much
