SHE'S PLASTIC SURGERY

Lower blepharoplasty, or lower eyelid surgery, involves creating an incision beneath the eyelashes to address sagging skin and fat below the eyes.  Given the incisions involved, a scar ointment or gel will be prescribed. But when should you start using it, and for how long? Ideally, begin applying Contractubex scar gel 2-3 weeks after stitch removal. Applying it sooner may cause a tingling sensation at the surgical site.  The recommended duration for applying scar ointment is 3 to 6 months, with scars typically fading after 6 months.  Additionally, Steri strips should be applied to the incision ends for 3 weeks post-surgery. Continuing their use for at least 3 months, including during sleep, is advisable.

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.
