Will there be visible scars?
Incisions are typically hidden as they are placed on the inside of the eyelid or, less commonly, in the natural crease below the lash line of the lower eyelid. As healing progresses, the incision scars generally become much less noticeable and are often well concealed when the eyes are open. Over longer time periods, they usually become unnoticeable unless you point them out to others.
