Scars will form as a result of the cosmetic surgery. Overall, blepharoplasty scars heal relatively well. Generally all scars are red somewhat in the first couple of months. These then gradually fade over a period of about 6-9 months. In the upper eyelid, the scars are tucked into the base of natural fold or crease of the upper eye socket and difficult to spot. However variations in the healing process do occur from individual to individual. The scars of the lower eyelids, are alongside the lower eyelashes and almost always heal with a near invisible line after several months have passed. Those extending out into the crow’s feet area can become a little reddened and lumpy requiring perhaps a little longer to settle completely. Massage of these scars speeds up the maturation process and is recommended in all cases.
