Cosmetic surgery is a detailed process for many, offering functional and aesthetic benefits. However, optimal outcomes depend not only on the procedure itself but also on meticulous post-operative care. Scar management is an essential part of recovery, particularly for blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), where the incisions are strategically placed in delicate areas.
Dr. Mark Kohout, a specialist plastic surgeon, is dedicated to helping patients achieve the optimal results through personalised care. This comprehensive guide educates patients on the formation, care, and treatment of scars after blepharoplasty, guiding them with knowledge for an effective recovery.
Scars are a natural part of the body’s healing process. Following a surgical incision, collagen fibres form to repair the wound, resulting in a scar. Scar types include:
Blepharoplasty scars are typically discreet, as incisions are made along the natural creases of the eyelids. In lower eyelid procedures, the incision is often placed just below the lash line or inside the lower lid. Dr. Kohout employs refined techniques to help manage visible scarring.
In cases where scars remain prominent, additional treatments may be beneficial.
Scars can take 6-12 months or more to fully mature. During this time, they will fade and soften, though individual healing times vary.
While scars can improve significantly with care, they will not disappear entirely. Setting realistic expectations is key.
Adjusting to scars, especially in visible areas, can be emotional. Support from your surgeon and loved ones is invaluable during this time.
