Can double eyelid hyperplasia be eliminated?
Disease description:
I've had double eyelid cosmetic surgery, and now the incision on my eyelid is showing obvious hypertrophic scarring, with a small raised scar. I'm worried it will never fully heal. I'd like to ask: can double eyelid scar hyperplasia be eliminated, and what are the effective treatments available?

The hypertrophy that occurs after double eyelid surgery can be eliminated. Double eyelid hypertrophy refers to a scarring reaction on the eyelid following surgery, including symptoms such as skin tightness, redness, and swelling. This type of hypertrophy usually appears about one month after surgery and may last from one to three months, although the exact recovery time varies depending on individual physical conditions. Several methods are available to eliminate double eyelid hypertrophy:
1. Medication: Using scar patches or scar softening agents (such as aloe vera gel) to reduce the hypertrophic tissue.
2. Physical therapy: Techniques such as local compression, massage, and warm compresses can improve blood circulation, accelerate wound healing, and minimize scar formation.
3. Surgical treatment: During revision surgery, the hypertrophied tissue can be excised and the area resutured to effectively eliminate the hypertrophy.
