How long does it take for scars from lateral canthoplasty to fade away?

The scar from outer eye corner surgery usually disappears within about 3 to 6 months. Eye-widening surgery includes both outer and inner eye corner procedures, and the time required for scar fading may vary depending on the specific procedure. Some scarring is inevitable after eye-widening surgery; if proper care is not taken, visible scars may remain. Therefore, appropriate postoperative care is essential to accelerate scar healing. After the surgery, anti-inflammatory injections can be used to prevent wound infection and inflammation.
