Is there any harm in having thread embedding in both eyes

Among the double eyelid surgeries, buried suture surgery is the most common one. It is not prone to treatment failure and can be used for a very long time. Many people who want to have double eyelid surgery prefer this suture method. Of course, you should also pay attention to some precautions when performing this operation. You must go to a regular plastic surgery institution or hospital for such surgery. After the operation, keep the wound clean to prevent infection.

Disadvantages of double eyelid suture

Limited surgical population

Although the incision for double eyelid suture surgery is extremely small, it has the fastest recovery among all double eyelid surgeries. However, because the traumatic incision is small, there is no way to remove excess fat and skin from the eyes through the small incision during the entire operation. Therefore, it can only be used on young people with tight upper eyelid skin and no excess fat. This is the disadvantage of double eyelid suture surgery.

Disadvantages of double eyelid suture

It is easy to have double eyelids after surgery

After double eyelid suture surgery, it is easy to have double eyelids, which is the biggest disadvantage of double eyelid suture surgery. Because the sutures commonly used for double eyelid surgery are polymer protein sutures, which are a type of suture that can be degraded and absorbed by the human body. Generally, the polymer protein sutures will slowly degrade over about 3-5 years. Once the protein sutures are degraded, the double eyelids will fall off and become inner double eyelids.

Disadvantages of double eyelid suture

After surgery, the thread will be exposed

During the double eyelid suture surgery, protein thread is buried between the skin and the tarsal plate and then directly adhered and sutured. Because the thread is not buried deeply, some people will have the ends of the protein thread exposed as the eyes move. In this case, the double eyelid suture surgery must be redone, because if it is cut directly, the entire thread will loosen, resulting in inner double eyelids.

What is double eyelid suture

The double eyelid suture surgery is to make 3-6 tiny incisions of 1-2 mm directly on the upper eyelid skin. After the small incisions are made, the doctor will use a surgical needle to bury the high-molecular protein thread between the skin and the upper eyelid tarsal plate. After the two are sutured and adhered, the double eyelid shape will be formed.

There is no need to remove the sutures for double eyelid surgery because the sutures are already done while the polymer protein thread is buried. In addition, the polymer protein thread itself is absorbable, and the incision for the thread embedding is very, very small, so there is no need for secondary suturing with medical nylon thread.
