Undoing Sausage Double Eyelids (Non-incisional Suture Removal)

This patient visited our clinic less than a week after undergoing a buried suture method (natural adhesion method) at another hospital.

While one might typically wait a bit longer for swelling to subside, the patient felt the lines were excessively high. They returned to the original hospital but were refused a revision, leaving them emotionally distressed before seeking help here.

Even with the eyes closed, the lines appear quite high.

The patient mentioned they originally had low double eyelids and asked if a full restoration was possible. Since it had only been a short time since the initial surgery, I determined it was feasible and proceeded with the procedure.

Naturally, performing the procedure shortly after the initial surgery is ideal because it prevents further adhesions from forming and leads to better results.

The sutures are carefully removed to ensure there is absolutely no tissue damage.

The procedure was a success, with all sutures cleanly removed. It took approximately 10 minutes.

As mentioned in previous posts, this can be difficult for those without experience, but for an experienced surgeon, it is possible to remove only the sutures without damaging the surrounding tissue.

Frequently Asked Questions

If the double eyelid line is too high after buried suture double eyelid surgery, can it be immediately undone?

Yes, it is possible. Even in the early stages, less than a week after surgery, as in the case in the main text, the line can be undone through non-incisional thread removal. In fact, performing it in the early stages of surgery prevents further adhesion, leading to better results.

How long does non-incisional thread removal surgery take?

It takes about 10 minutes. If the surgery is performed by experienced medical staff, only the thread used for the buried suture method can be removed quickly and cleanly without damaging surrounding tissues.

Will removing the double eyelid thread restore my original eyes?

Yes, you can return to your original eye condition. The patient in the main text also wanted to return to her original low double eyelid line, and by removing the thread before severe adhesion occurred, a successful restoration was possible.

Is there a risk of tissue damage during thread removal surgery?

If performed by skilled medical staff, surgery is possible without tissue damage. It can be a difficult surgery for those who haven't done it before, but experienced medical staff safely remove only the causative thread without touching surrounding tissues.
