If hypertrophic scarring occurs at the outer corners of the eyes after double eyelid surgery for a relatively short duration, scar-softening medications can be injected under a doctor's guidance. Commonly used drugs include betamethasone and triamcinolone acetonide. For scars that have been present longer, laser treatment may be performed. This typically uses a specialized laser beam to directly target scar tissue and also promotes the regeneration of subcutaneous collagen, helping the skin become smooth and even.
