What is a parallel double eyelid?
Disease description:
When I was learning about double eyelid surgery, I came across the term "tuck-in double eyelid," but I didn't quite understand it. I currently have single eyelids and want to achieve a natural-looking double eyelid. I'd like to know what "tuck-in double eyelid" refers to.

A buried suture double eyelid procedure is a cosmetic surgical method aimed at creating a natural double eyelid crease on the upper eyelid through non-surgical or minimally invasive techniques.
This technique is particularly suitable for individuals who wish to improve the appearance of their eyes but do not want to experience the recovery period and risks associated with traditional double eyelid surgery. During the procedure, the surgeon performs continuous or interrupted suturing along the pre-marked double eyelid line, creating adhesions between the eyelid skin and the tarsal plate through these sutures, thereby forming a double eyelid contour.
The surgery involves minimal trauma, short operation time, easy removal of sutures, rapid recovery, no scarring, and minimal impact on daily life. However, because the sutures pass completely through the upper eyelid layers, they may obstruct blood return, leading to more noticeable swelling of the upper eyelid, slower resolution of swelling, and a longer recovery period.
Prior to choosing this type of surgery, one should fully understand its indications, expected outcomes, and potential risks, and make an informed decision under the guidance of a qualified physician.
