Natural Adhesion Suture Removal: Reversing Natural Adhesion Double Eyelids

Natural Adhesion Suture Removal: Reversing Natural Adhesion

In this post, we will discuss reversing natural adhesion double eyelid surgery.

There are cases where patients who have undergone natural adhesion (non-incisional double eyelid surgery) are dissatisfied with the line or wish to return to their original eye shape.

While incisional surgery usually requires another incisional procedure to make changes, those who had the non-incisional or natural adhesion method can often return to their original state simply by removing the buried sutures.

This patient originally had double eyelids but opted for a higher line. However, since the result was not what they desired, they wanted to return to their original appearance.

When the eyes are closed, the small puncture marks from the previous surgery are visible.

At our clinic, we do not make new incisions to remove the buried sutures. Instead, we remove them through the existing holes.

While it is much easier to remove sutures by making an incision, most patients choose the non-incisional method specifically to avoid cutting the skin. Making an incision just to remove the threads would defeat that purpose. If an incision were necessary, one might as well have opted for incisional double eyelid surgery from the start.

Removing sutures through tiny holes requires significant expertise and technical skill. It is not easy to extract the threads without causing tissue damage.

The sutures were removed using one hole on one side and two holes on the other.

There is almost no swelling, and the eyelid line appears lower immediately after the procedure compared to before the removal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my eyes return to their original state after natural adhesion double eyelid surgery?

Yes, in many cases, they can. If you've had surgery using the natural adhesion or buried suture method, it's possible to revert to your original eye state by removing the threads that fixed the double eyelid, unlike with incisional methods.

Is an incision necessary to remove buried suture threads?

No, it's possible to remove them without an incision. At our clinic, to minimize tissue damage to the patient, we use a method of safely removing the threads through the existing tiny holes from the previous surgery, without making a separate incision.

How much swelling is there after thread removal surgery?

There is almost no swelling immediately after the surgery. Since the threads are removed through tiny holes without an incision, tissue damage is minimal, leading to quick recovery, and you can see the double eyelid line lowered right after the surgery.

Is removing threads without an incision an easy surgery?

No, it is a surgery that requires a high level of know-how and skill. While an incision provides a clear view, making it easy to find the threads, removing them perfectly through only small holes without damaging surrounding tissue requires a very high level of skill from the medical staff.
