Double Eyelid Burden After Buried Sutures - What Is It Like on Day 2?

Having a double eyelid fold in the eye is quite important. When a proper double eyelid is created, the eyes look larger, eyelid correction can be improved, and skin sagging is reduced, among other benefits. Because the cosmetic benefits of making the eyes look bigger and clearer are significant, many people want double eyelids.

These double eyelid procedures include the incision method and the buried suture method. The incision method can create a definite double eyelid even for people with a lot of skin and fat on the eyelids, but its drawback is a longer recovery period. The buried suture method is said to have a relatively shorter recovery period, but there may be limitations when trying to create a large fold.

Eyes without ptosis, with thin eyelid skin and little fat, are very suitable for the buried suture method. It is easy to create a relatively large fold, and it rarely comes undone. In cases where there is a lot of flesh on the eyelids, swelling also does not go down easily, but eyes with thin skin and little fat do not swell much after the buried suture procedure.

The amount of swelling after buried suture double eyelid surgery varies from person to person, but usually there is not much swelling even on day 2 of the buried suture method, and it becomes natural after about a week. However, it still takes about 2 to 3 weeks to fully settle.
