Q. What is the difference between the buried suture method and natural adhesion?

Hello, this is Director Ahn Mun-yeong of AB Plastic Surgery.

I will answer the questions you were curious about.

Q. What is the difference between the buried suture method and natural adhesion?

A. The buried suture method, natural adhesion method, and the method commonly called “pinching”

all use thread to create double eyelids without incision, so the basic principle is the same.

Unlike incision methods, this creates double eyelids by using thread to connect the skin and

muscle, or the muscle that opens the eyes, without directly cutting the skin.

This method has the advantages of being relatively simple, having a fast recovery, and leaving almost no scar.

However, the buried suture method and the natural adhesion method differ in how they are fixed.

The typical buried suture method keeps the double eyelid by hooking the thread at certain points, while

the natural adhesion method uses thread to encourage the tissues to adhere closely, creating a more stable adhesion.

The natural adhesion method differs in that the chance of the double eyelid coming undone is lower than with the buried suture method, and it can last longer.

However, both methods ultimately use thread to create double eyelids, so they can be seen as the same concept as “pinching.”

In general, when people say “pinching,” they often mean the buried suture method,

and it is characterized by being a simple procedure that does not require cutting the skin, so recovery is fast.

However, if the skin is thick or there is a lot of fat, there is a possibility that the double eyelid may come undone, so

it is important to choose the appropriate method according to each person’s eye condition.

In the end, the buried suture method, natural adhesion method, and pinching method are all forms of double eyelid surgery performed without incision,

and it is necessary to choose the appropriate method based on your eye structure and the desired duration of the result.

I hope this answer was helpful.
