Hello~

💎your beauty universe! I am Dr. Park Sun-hee, Director of Uber Plastic Surgery :)💎

Keloid skin refers to a condition where, during the healing and regeneration process of a wound,

the skin swells up or changes color.

Often, the scar gradually enlarges, becomes red, and thickens.

Keloid scarring can also appear after incisional surgeries, liposuction, or even injections.

​

Because of this, many patients with keloid-prone skin have concerns when considering double eyelid surgery.

Today, we will find out whether double eyelid surgery is possible for those with keloid-prone skin.

Is Double Eyelid Surgery Possible for Keloid-Prone Skin?

A keloid is an abnormal accumulation of collagen during the wound healing process.

This manifests differently depending on your skin type or the specific area of the body.

Because the skin of our eyelids is extremely thin,

it is very rare for keloid scars to appear there.

Occasionally, 1 to 2 months after incisional double eyelid surgery, the scar may appear raised,

but this is a normal part of the scar maturation process.

Over time, the scar will naturally subside.

​

However, if the width of the scar has widened,

or if there is a depressed scar or white discoloration, it will not improve over time.

These types of scars are not caused by having keloid-prone skin,

but rather by other factors.

Therefore, you do not need to worry about scarring after double eyelid surgery just because you have keloid-prone skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is double eyelid surgery possible for keloid-prone skin?

Yes, it is possible. The eyelid skin is one of the thinnest areas of our body, so keloid scars rarely occur. Therefore, there is no need to give up on double eyelid surgery just because you have a keloid predisposition.

My scar protruded after incisional double eyelid surgery, is it a keloid?

No, it is not. It is a normal scar maturation process for the scar to appear raised for about 1-2 months after surgery. This is not a keloid scar and the scar will naturally shrink and flatten over time.

What should I do if my double eyelid surgery scar turns white or becomes indented?

If the scar widens or becomes indented, or if it turns white, it will not improve naturally over time. However, this is not due to keloid-prone skin but rather other causes, so an accurate diagnosis is necessary.

What exactly is keloid-prone skin?

Keloid-prone skin is a phenomenon where an abnormal amount of collagen accumulates during the wound healing process. It is characterized by the wound area swelling, reddening, and thickening, and can also appear after incisions or injections.
