The scars from eye corner surgery generally take 1 to 3 months to fade, with specific duration varying from person to person. For patients undergoing inner eye corner surgery, if they have good physical health and proper postoperative care, the recovery time is usually shorter, and scars may gradually disappear within 1 to 2 months. However, for those undergoing outer eye corner surgery, if the patient has a weaker constitution or inadequate postoperative care, it may typically take 2 to 3 months for the scars to fade.
