It has been two years since the eye corner surgery, and hypertrophic scarring can be treated through medications, surgery, and other methods. In severe cases of scarring, patients may require laser surgery. Additionally, anti-scar medications can be applied to the眼角 area, and patients may also perform gentle massages. During the healing process, patients should pay attention to their diet, avoiding foods such as beef, mutton, seafood, and grilled items, and maintain proper hygiene around the wound area.
