It’s Friday, and the end of our Q&A regarding eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty. Here’s our last question.

I’d like to get eyelid surgery done but I’m concerned about the resulting scars that may appear afterwards.

This is a common concern for any surgery that requires incisions. Like all invasive cosmetic procedures, any incisions are placed in a discreet area. For eyelid surgery, this involves placing them in the natural creases of your eyes. For example, one site when correcting the lower eyelids might be in the area immediately below the lower eyelashes, where there is already a crease. Another location might be on the inside of the eyelid. For the creation of a double eyelid, the incision may be placed in a less discreet place so that the resulting scar creates the coveted crease.

At any rate, before you undergo surgery, ask your cosmetic surgeon where the incision will be placed and express any concerns you may have regarding this.
