[Lari Plastic Surgery] Your First Eyelid Surgery: A Quick and Simple Buried-Suture Double-Eyelid Procedure

Today, we’ll take a look at why buried-suture double-eyelid surgery continues to be so popular.

“I want double-eyelid surgery, but an incision feels a bit intimidating.”

“Is it possible to make it look natural without it being obvious that I had surgery?”

These are the questions that clinic coordinators hear most often from patients during outpatient consultations.

When people think of double-eyelid surgery, many envision the incisional method,

but if the eyes meet the appropriate conditions, the buried-suture method can also create a very natural and defined appearance.

Looking at the before-and-after photos above, you can see that the eyes look much more defined and open without an artificial appearance.

The buried-suture method creates a double-eyelid line using special sutures through small openings, without making a complete incision in the skin.

Unlike incisional surgery, it involves less skin damage because there is no area that needs to be dissected. As a result, recovery is faster and swelling is relatively limited.

Since there are no stitches that need to be removed, it is the most commonly performed method for those who want a natural-looking line in a short period of time.

Advantages of the Buried-Suture Method

☞ Recovery is fast.

Because the procedure is performed without an incision, tissue damage is limited and patients can generally return to their daily activities quickly.

Although individual results vary, significant swelling usually subsides considerably after about 1–2 weeks, and the line becomes even more natural over time.

☞ Scarring is barely visible.

Because the skin is not incised, one of the benefits of buried-suture surgery is that scarring is barely visible even when the eyes are closed.

It is particularly satisfying for those who do not want it to be obvious that they have had surgery.

☞ A natural-looking eye shape can be created.

The greatest advantage of the buried-suture method is that it leaves little sign of surgery.

Because it can create a natural impression, as though you originally had double eyelids, it is also popular among students, office workers, and men.

However, the buried-suture method is not suitable for everyone.

The buried-suture method may be expected to produce good results in the following cases:

▶ The eyelid skin is thin

▶ There is not much fat

▶ The eyelids are not significantly droopy

▶ You want a defined yet natural-looking line

▶ This is your first double-eyelid surgery

Conversely, even for a first surgery, the incisional method may be more suitable when the skin is significantly droopy, there is a large amount of fat, or the eyelids are thick.

The most important thing is to choose a surgical method that suits your eyes.

Are There Any Disadvantages to the Buried-Suture Method?

Of course.

Because the buried-suture method secures the line with sutures, if the skin is very thick or the eyelid muscles are strong, the line may weaken or loosen over time.

In addition, if you insist on the buried-suture method without considering the individual condition of your eyes, it may be difficult to achieve the desired result.

That is why a thorough consultation and accurate diagnosis are especially important.

Highly Recommended for:

▶ Those who feel uncomfortable with incisional surgery

▶ Those who want natural-looking double eyelids

▶ Office workers and students who cannot take a long recovery period

▶ Those considering their first double-eyelid surgery

▶ Those who want a procedure with barely visible scarring

Even with the same buried-suture method, results vary from person to person, and good results are determined by the “design” more than by the surgical method itself.

That is why buried-suture double-eyelid surgery involves an extended design process before surgery. By repeatedly having you sit and lie down, the optimal line is identified and designed.

After thoroughly analyzing the symmetry between the eyes, eyelid-opening strength, skin thickness, amount of fat, and the proportions of the eye shape, the line that suits each individual best must be designed to achieve a satisfying result.

Buried-suture double-eyelid surgery may appear to be a relatively simple procedure,

but the results can vary greatly depending on the surgeon’s experience and design skills.

Because the eyes are an important feature that determines the impression of the entire face, it is important not simply to create double eyelids,

but to accurately understand each individual’s eye structure and complete the most natural-looking line.
