Hello~

💎your beauty universe! I am Dr. Park Sun-hee, Head Director of Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💎

Double eyelid surgery refers to a procedure that fixes the dermis or orbicularis oculi muscle to the tarsal plate or

the levator palpebrae superioris muscle.

​

Double eyelid surgery methods include the non-incisional method, natural adhesion method, and incisional method.

​

The natural adhesion method creates a double eyelid line by connecting

the eyelid skin and muscle with a thread.

It has the advantage of leaving almost no scarring,

but if the skin is thick, the double eyelid

may loosen over time.

​

Many people undergo double eyelid surgery, but

the number of cases where people consider revision surgery due to

dissatisfaction or side effects is also increasing.

​

​

When proceeding with revision surgery using the natural adhesion method again,

many people wonder if the threads from the previous surgery

need to be removed.

​

Today, let's find out whether the threads need to be removed during natural adhesion revision surgery.

​

​

Should the threads from the previous surgery be removed when doing a revision with natural adhesion?

​

It is not absolutely necessary to remove them, but in some cases,

it might be better to remove the previous non-incisional threads.

​

Non-absorbable threads are used in the non-incisional method of double eyelid surgery.

Even after the surgery, it is difficult to find traces of the thread on the eyelid.

When it is difficult to find the threads used in the previous surgery,

there is no need to go out of your way to find and remove them.

However, if the thread is visible through the eyelid skin,

or if the knot protrudes and forms a bump,

it is better to remove it.

Also, if the shape of the previous line is unnatural and you are changing the line,

or if you are lowering a high line, it is recommended to perform the surgery while removing the threads.

​

Today, we learned about thread removal during natural adhesion revision surgery.

I will be back with more informative content next time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the pros and cons of natural adhesion double eyelid surgery?

The biggest advantage is that there is almost no scarring. However, if the eyelid skin is thick, there is a disadvantage that the double eyelid line may loosen over time, so sufficient consultation before surgery is necessary.

Do I have to remove the existing thread during natural adhesion revision surgery?

No, it is not always necessary to remove it. If it is difficult to find traces of the thread used in the previous surgery in the eyelid, revision surgery can be performed without forcibly searching for and removing it.

In what cases is it better to remove the thread during double eyelid revision surgery?

It is recommended to remove the thread if it is visible through the skin or if the knot protrudes. Additionally, if the shape of the existing double eyelid line is awkward and you want to change the line, or when performing revision surgery to lower a line that is too high, it is also recommended to remove the existing thread.

What kind of thread is used for buried suture or natural adhesion surgery?

A thread that does not naturally dissolve in the body is used. After surgery, it is fixed inside the eyelid to maintain the double eyelid line, and when the surgery is successful, it is characterized by the difficulty of finding traces of the thread on the outside.
