Can the buried suture double eyelid return to its original state three months after removal of the sutures?

Thread-lifting double eyelid surgery is a cosmetic procedure that achieves the double eyelid effect by implanting absorbable polymer protein threads into the upper eyelid. This surgery is characterized by minimal trauma and quick recovery, but the results are not permanent, typically lasting from one to three years. It is possible for the eyelids to return to their original state after removing the threads at three months; however, it is important to note that the surgery causes some degree of tissue damage, so the recovery process may take some time, varying from person to person.

Deciding to remove the threads within a short period after surgery—such as three months—carries certain risks. At this stage, the collagen structure forming the double eyelid may not yet be fully stabilized, and thread removal could cause the original eyelid crease to disappear or become distorted. Even after removing the threads, due to the impact of the surgical procedure on the eyelid tissues, it is unlikely for the eyelids to completely return to their pre-surgery condition. If the threads have been left in place for too long and structural changes have occurred within the eye area, the difficulty of returning to the original state increases after removal. Furthermore, the removal procedure itself may also cause some trauma to the eye area and should therefore be approached with caution.

It is recommended to first consult a reputable hospital for professional evaluation to understand your individual condition and potential risks. Additionally, after thread removal, it is important to strictly follow the doctor's post-operative care instructions to promote recovery and reduce the occurrence of complications.
