Post-Dermabrasion?!

Post-Dermabrasion?

Sorry if this question is repeated... can't see the first positing. I had a dermabrasion procedure on a scar on my left cheek in the middle of March. The area is still slightly discolored (light brownish). I can no longer tell whether it's still in a stage of healing or is done healing and I'm left with some discoloration around the site (sun damage?? I was so careful!). My plastic surgeon mentioned the possibility of bleaching cream without actually seeing the site (he told me over the phone). I'm really nervous that will make the site LIGHTER than the rest of my skin.

.. One more thing.. my left eyelid is still a little swollen. Does anybody have any idea how long it takes for the swelling to go away? The doctor kept comparing the procedure to something similar to being burned. Any advice would be great, thanks!

Just would like to add... what I really need to know is whether this wound is still in a stage of healing.

I am no dermatologist, but my wife and daughter had this procedure done to reduce acne scars. The dermabrasion can be traumatic to the skin, After three or more months, healing should be complete. I would suggest going to the dermatologist to get a professional, personal opinion about further treatment, certainly before you try the bleaching cream.
