Do you need to remove the stitches for buried suture double eyelid surgery?
Disease description:
Recently, several of my classmates have had double eyelid surgery—some opted for the three-point method, while others chose the suture (non-incision) technique. I'm considering getting the suture method myself, and I'd like to ask: after a long period of time, will the stitches need to be removed?
Whether suture removal is needed after suture埋线 double eyelid surgery primarily depends on the specific surgical circumstances and individual differences. In most cases, suture removal is not required. This is because absorbable sutures are used during the procedure, which are gradually absorbed and dissolved by the body over time, eliminating the need for manual removal. Additionally, suture double eyelid surgery involves minimal trauma, with skin incisions typically measuring only one to two millimeters; these small incisions can heal on their own without requiring stitches, thus no suture removal is necessary. However, in special circumstances, suture removal may be needed. For example, if a suture becomes exposed after surgery, it should be removed to prevent local inflammation or swelling. Moreover, if a switch to an incisional blepharoplasty method is required for any reason, the previously buried sutures must be removed during the subsequent procedure.
