Blepharoplasty Scarring: What to Expect

When considering eyelid surgery, one of the most common patient concerns is: What will blepharoplasty scarring actually look like? At Jorja Aesthetics, we believe real confidence comes from meaningful results—not covering up your story. As an Adoreal partner, our clinic blends fearless innovation, bold honesty, and a human-first approach to deliver eyelid rejuvenation with natural-looking outcomes and minimal, discreet scarring.

Understanding Blepharoplasty Scarring: What’s Normal?

Scarring is a natural part of any surgical procedure, including blepharoplasty. The good news: when performed by experienced hands using advanced techniques, scars are typically inconspicuous and fade beautifully over time. At Jorja Aesthetics, we treat every patient’s story with honesty and clarity, ensuring you have all the facts to make confident choices.

How It Works:

  • Incisions are strategically placed within the natural folds of your eyelids—upper eyelid scars hide in the crease, while lower blepharoplasty scars may be just below the lashes or inside the lower lid.
  • Thanks to precise closure and refined technique, scars are usually fine, flat, and fade to a nearly invisible line within months.
  • Most patients report that, by three to six months post-op, friends and colleagues can’t spot a thing unless they’re looking up close.

What to Expect with Healing:

  • Expect some swelling, bruising, and pinkness around incisions for the first few weeks. This is entirely normal and improves rapidly.
  • Over several months, scars will soften and lighten—helped by your body’s natural healing as well as tailored aftercare guidance from our expert team.
  • Does Everyone Heal the Same Way?

    No two people — and no two healing journeys — are alike. Factors like skin tone, genetics, and even lifestyle (think: sun protection and smoking) can influence how blepharoplasty scarring matures. At Jorja, we prioritise human-first care. That means every patient receives truly personalised advice on scar management for their unique skin, goals, and daily routine.

    Expert Tips for Scar Optimisation:

    • Sun Protection: UV rays can darken new scars; use sunglasses and SPF for at least 6 months post-op.
    • Gentle Massage: Once incisions are healed, gentle fingertip massage (guided by your surgeon) can help soften scar tissue.
    • Hydration: Keep the eyelid skin moisturised with recommended products—sometimes simple is best.
    • Avoid Harsh Products: Skip retinoids and acids until your team gives the green light.
    • Follow up: Regular check-ins allow us to monitor your healing and offer tweaks to your scar-care plan.
