Introduction
In general, suture removal after double eyelid surgery is an important step. Double eyelid surgery usually involves incisions and suturing to aid wound healing and shape the double eyelid. The sutures serve a stabilizing and supportive role during the healing process, but once the wound has healed sufficiently, the sutures need to be removed to prevent any adverse effects on the wound.

In general, suture removal after double eyelid surgery is an important step in the postoperative process. Double eyelid surgery typically involves incisions and suturing to assist wound healing and shape formation of the double eyelid. Sutures play a role in stabilizing and supporting the wound during healing; however, once the wound has healed sufficiently, the sutures must be removed to prevent adverse effects. Removing the sutures helps promote wound healing, reduce the risk of infection, and restore the eye's natural aesthetic appearance.
