A double eyelid operation by the buried suture method

In this method, there are various types. The first type is that we must make a single loop. Another type is that we must make a short loop in three parts. And the final type is to make many loops.

The main reason to avoid this method is that the double eyelid might fade away after a long time. However, Teuim plastic surgery minimizes that problem by giving you the correct know-how in loop and a knot formation in the operation.

Who are suitable for the buried suture method?

The buried suture method is suitable for thin skinned eyes. Surely, the buried suture method can be applied to any type of eyelid, but the best results result can be made in thin eyelids. Also, for people who draw lines with eyecharms, tape, or eye glue, this method is useful. In general it is desirable to people who have good skin conditions.

1. Eyes with not much fat and with thin eyelids.

2. People with a double eyelid on only one side of the eye.

Advantages of the buried suture method

Buried suture method shows rapid recovery with little swelling. It is natural and a scar is hardly seen. The eyes will look natural in only about 2-3 weeks.

It creates a very natural double eyelid line. A scar won’t remain.

The duration of the operation is about 20-30 minutes. The recovery period is also very short.

Concerns about the double eyelid fading away.

It’s a fact that people have experienced their lines fading away in the past from the buried suture method. The main reason for this is that there was a chance the operation was undertaken improperly.

If the line gets loose, it causes discomfort for both the patient and the doctor. It is wrong to think that the buried suture method would get loose and fade away when a proper operation is performed from a skillful surgeon, so there’s no need to worry about it.

Examples) Magic epicanthoplasty combined with non-incisional double eyelid surgery in eyes that have faded lines.

Buried suture method for eyelid skin that hangs down.

When skin hangs down a lot, it is proper to take an operation by excision because the double eyelids can make an effect to lift up the skin a little by folding the eyelid. Therefore it is not true that only an excision is needed for the hanging down of eyelids. For eyes that hang down, although the lines are made high, relatively small lines are formed after a while.

Is there a special clinic for the buried suture method?

It can be said that for over 70% of Korean woman, an excision or incision is needed for beautiful eyes. Many need combined operations considering the Mongolian folds and the condition of the eyelids. But if the conditions are good, then the buried suture method or the partial incision method can be effective.

When buried suture method is operated for eyes that really need an excision, the double eyelids are most likely to fade away. In most conditions, eyelids have severe Mongolian folds, so the epicanthoplasty is necessary for good results.

So it is true that many hospitals operate with combined surgeries. If a hospital operates only with the buried suture method, it cannot be accepted both surgically and aesthetically. This cannot create desirable results and it would be an act against the cosmetic principle either

2. Partial incision

What is a partial incision?

This is suitable for a person who has slightly puffy eyes and who wants to obtain a natural double eyelid. It can be operated by a minimal incision and it can make a more certain adhesion than the buried suture method. In a week, the swelling will decrease.
