Silicone Gel for Postsurgical Scars of the Eyelid

"Patients who have consented to the study will receive two tubes labeled only left and right, corresponding to the side of the face to which the tube contents will be applied. One tube will contain silicone gel and the other tube will contain aquaphor. Neither the patient nor the surgeon will know what side will receive which treatment. These tubes will be given to patients at post-operative week 1 visit. Patients will be instructed to rub the solution into their eyelid incisions gently with their fingers for 2-3 minutes twice a day"
