The quality of eyelid skin helps any scarring to be minimal unless the post op period involves pulling of the incsion site for whatever reason. Cut or lasered skin has to scar with healing though is will be hard to see if done well in the region of the eyelids.
All surgery leaves scars but scars on the eyelids are among the finest and faintest of all. The scars may be difficult to perceive even when you look for them.

Yes but usually is hidden under the lid folds
All surgery leaves scars. When done well the scars should be minimal and hidden in the skin fold.
If done well, you should not see ANY scars. All the scars should be hidden in natural skin creases and should fade away with in 6-10 weeks.
