Do I Need to Use Scar Ointment After Lower Blepharoplasty?


Lower blepharoplasty, also known as lower eyelid surgery, involves making a long incision under the eyelashes to remove saggy skin and fat under the eyes. 


Since incisions are made during this surgery, you will be prescribed a scar ointment. When should you start using the scar ointment, and how long should you keep using it?



It's best to begin applying Contractubex scar gel 2-3 weeks after the stitches are removed. If you put it on earlier, you might feel a tingling at the surgical site.


The scar ointment is recommended to be applied for 3 to 6 months, and the scars typically fade away after 6 months.



After lower blepharoplasty, you also need to apply Steri strips to the ends of the incisions for 3 weeks. It's a good idea to continue using Steri strips for at least 3 months, even while you sleep.
