Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Li Fengyong
The phenomenon of scar hyperplasia after eye corner surgery usually resolves completely within about six months. Scar hyperplasia following eye corner surgery is generally considered normal. If patients experience this condition, they should maintain cleanliness and dryness of the local skin, avoid contact with water to prevent infection, and maintain regular作息 (daily routines) and sufficient sleep. Generally, the scars will gradually fade and disappear after six months.
