Can You Use Silicone Scar Gel Around the Eyes After Eyelid Surgery?

If you’ve recently had eyelid surgery (also known as blepharoplasty), you might be wondering how to support your healing and reduce the chance of noticeable scarring. One of the most common questions we hear is: Can I safely use silicone scar gel near my eyes? Good news—the answer is yes, as long as you’re using a high-quality product designed for sensitive skin.

Why Scarring Can Happen After Eyelid Surgery

Even with expert surgical care and minimal incisions, some scarring is a normal part of the healing process. The skin around the eyes is incredibly delicate and constantly moving—blinking, smiling, squinting—so it needs extra care and attention while it heals.

What the Research Says About Silicone for Eyelid Scars

Several studies have shown that silicone scar gel can be both safe and effective when used around the eyes:

• In a 2019 clinical study, patients who used silicone scar cream after upper eyelid blepharoplasty were less likely to develop raised or thickened scars. Plus, there were no side effects reported—always a win (Kalasho et al., 2019).

• Another study showed that applying silicone gel to visible scars helped reduce their appearance in just 12 weeks. Patients saw a big improvement, with no irritation, even in exposed areas like the face (Díaz-Hurtado et al., 2024).

• One inspiring case involved a man who used silicone gel on a post-surgery eyelid scar. Not only did the scar improve visually, but his eyelid function improved too—with zero discomfort reported during treatment (Germano et al., 2024).

How Silicone Scar Gel Supports Healthy Healing

Silicone creates a light, breathable barrier over your scar. This helps:

• Lock in moisture

• Protect the skin from environmental stress

• Encourage balanced collagen production

The result? A softer, smoother scar that fades more quickly and comfortably.
