Sometimes the scars can be re-exercise and close I might improve the appearance.
Thank you for your question.
It is tough to fix scars anywhere on the body. We want scars to be less noticeable, flat and more like skin tone. You ask eyelid scars. If you still have enough skin there, I will try to remove the skin with the scars and reshape your eyelids but you need to wait for 6 months after your previous surgery. If you don't have enough skin there, I cannot do much. We may try to inject steroid to flatten the scars and soften them and wait until we can do the revision. Usually the scars get better with time; so If your eyelid shape is good, just be patient. As with any aesthetic surgery, you should not expect perfection. There are many factors that affect the outcome. Your skin and soft tissue are living things, not a piece of plastic or clay. They change with time. And like a sculptor, your doctor can only do that much considering safety first.
