As with all surgeries, there will be scars. However, blepharoplasty scars tend to be very light and fade over time. Many of our patients report that the scars go from being small and light pink to fading. While every patient heals a little bit differently, we’ve provided where the scars will be placed for the different procedures:
The scar for the upper eyelids falls into the upper eyelid crease.
For the lower eyelid, the scar follows a natural crease below the eyelashes. In cases where a transconjunctival approach is used the scar is actually on the inside of the eyelid. The eyelid skin is very thin and heals quite well.
