Is there a way to blend an upper eyelid scar better?Jan 12, 2010 Hi Dr. Irwin,
I recently read your book. I was very impressed with the information provided. I do have one question that I'd like your opinion on. I had upper eyelid surgery a year old. Although the incision line is white and flattened, it's more noticeable than I expected. I'm wondering if you think a particular type of laser treatment on the upper eyelid could help improve the scar appearance. I'm 37 and my goal is to improve the incision line appearance (any skin tightening, extra would only be a bonus, but not a priority).
Thank you Thank you for the compliment! If you're 37, you probably have good elasticity of your skin so further tightening could cause problems. Your surgeon might need to help you with this decision. Fraxel laser on the upper lids may be your best choice because it would blend the scar without causing much tightening. This is a situation where seeing your surgeon and then getting a second opinion would be helpful. Posted in Scars, Eyelid Treatments
