Introduction
Whether undergoing sutured double eyelid surgery after a full-incision procedure mainly depends on the recovery status. If the recovery is satisfactory but the outcome is suboptimal, sutured double eyelid surgery may be considered under a doctor's guidance to further improve the eye shape. However, if recovery is poor or there are issues with wound healing, suturing is not recommended to avoid negatively affecting recovery and the appearance of the eyes.
Generally speaking, "full incision" refers to the full incision double eyelid surgery, which creates the eyelid crease by cutting the skin and removing excess fat and muscle tissue. The typical reference price for full incision double eyelid surgery is 10,000-30,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement generally occurs within 1-2 weeks, although symptoms such as bleeding and scar hyperplasia may occur. "Thread embedding" refers to the thread-embedding double eyelid procedure, which forms the eyelid crease by inserting sutures into the upper eyelid skin. The typical reference price for thread-embedding double eyelid surgery is 3,000-5,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement generally occurs within 3-7 days, although symptoms such as swelling and pain may occur. Whether one can undergo thread-embedding double eyelid surgery after full incision mainly depends on individual recovery. If the recovery is good, the procedure can generally be performed normally. If recovery is poor, however, the procedure is not recommended. Detailed explanations are as follows:
If the recovery after full incision double eyelid surgery is good, the wound has stabilized, the fixation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue is satisfactory, there is no separation or skin adhesion, and no inflammation occurs, then thread-embedding double eyelid surgery can be performed under a doctor's guidance if the outcome of the full incision surgery is unsatisfactory. This can adjust facial proportions and improve issues such as unclear eyelid lines, asymmetry, overly wide or narrow eyelid creases, thereby making the eyes appear fuller and better defined.
However, if the recovery after full incision double eyelid surgery is unsatisfactory, with complications such as poor wound healing, suppuration, exudation, or bleeding, thread-embedding double eyelid surgery is not recommended, as it may interfere with wound healing, cause abnormal eyelid shape, and potentially affect the harmony between the eyes and the rest of the face.
Regardless of which type of eyelid plastic surgery is performed, it should be completed at a正规 medical facility. Additionally, a detailed preoperative assessment is necessary to ensure safety.
