The scar from eye corner surgery usually softens within about 3 to 6 months. The exact time frame depends on individual constitution; those with stronger healing abilities may experience faster scar softening. Proper eye care after surgery is essential—good postoperative care can speed up scar fading. After the procedure, avoid putting pressure on the wound. If the scar remains raised and does not soften over time, laser treatment may be considered for removal.
