First-Eye Surgery with a Non-Incision Method (Buried Suture Double-Eyelid Surgery)

This year’s College Scholastic Ability Test has also ended. I hope you achieve good results after your hard and exhausting period of preparation.

Traditionally, in plastic surgery clinics, the winter season after the College Scholastic Ability Test has been regarded as the time when teenagers taking their first step into society as adults receive their first plastic surgery procedures.

However, these days the teenage population is also decreasing, and more teenagers are undergoing plastic surgery at a younger age even if it is not right after the CSAT, so the period after the exam is no longer the peak season for plastic surgery clinics as it once was.

Today, I will talk about non-incision double-eyelid surgery, which is most commonly received by teenagers or people in their early 20s.

'Types of Double-Eyelid Surgery'

Double-eyelid surgery can be broadly divided into two types.

First, incision-method double-eyelid surgery is a type of surgery in which an incision is made in the eyelid to cut the skin or remove a small amount of skin, and then create a double eyelid.

How incision-method double-eyelid surgery is performed

Incision-method double-eyelid surgery requires an incision in the skin, so the recovery period is somewhat longer, but it has the advantage of secure fixation, which makes the double eyelid less likely to loosen and helps it last longer.

Second, non-incision double-eyelid surgery is a method of creating a double eyelid through small openings without making a long incision in the eyelid skin, and it is also called buried-suture double-eyelid surgery.

Non-incision double-eyelid surgery does not create an incision in the skin, so recovery is faster, but compared with incision surgery, there is a slightly higher chance that it may come undone.

However, non-incision double-eyelid surgery is not a procedure that will eventually come apart completely over time. If the surgery is performed under appropriate conditions, it is a good method with the advantages of quick recovery and a natural result.

'Teenage Double-Eyelid Surgery'

Generally, the age at which plastic surgery can be performed without parental consent is 20 years old or older. But with parental consent, eye plastic surgery for teenagers is gradually increasing, and looking at recent trends, the age at which people receive their first double-eyelid surgery is getting younger and younger.

The age at which eye plastic surgery can be performed varies by clinic, but it is generally possible from around age 15, when facial growth is mostly complete.

During adolescence, aesthetic standards have not yet been fully established and it is also an emotionally sensitive period, so if double-eyelid surgery is performed, it is better to make it as natural as possible.

Therefore, for a teen’s first eye plastic surgery, if the skin is not especially thick or there is no ptosis that makes incision surgery absolutely necessary, I recommend non-incision double-eyelid surgery.

'Recovery Period for Non-Incision Double-Eyelid Surgery'

Non-incision double-eyelid surgery (buried-suture double-eyelid surgery) can naturally recover in about one week if there is no significant bruising or swelling.

Even in cases with a little bruising, the results appear very natural after two weeks, and after about one month they are close to the final result.

Non-incision double-eyelid surgery has the advantages of a shorter recovery period and a more natural result than incision-method double-eyelid surgery. However, not every eye is suitable for non-incision double-eyelid surgery. Eyes that have sufficient eyelid-opening strength, skin that is not too thick, and not much fat in the upper eyelid area are good candidates for non-incision double-eyelid surgery.
