Clinical Overview & Guide

Medically reviewed and performed by Dr. Ju-Chan Kim, Chief Medical Director of IBON Plastic Surgery (Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (KSPRS)).

Procedure Highlights & Candidacy

Mechanism: Single or multi-knot buried suture fixation through pinpoint openings along the designed crease line.
Candidacy: Patients with thin eyelid skin, minimal fat, and no skin sagging seeking a straightforward non-incisional option with minimal downtime.
Duration & Anesthesia: Approximately 30 minutes under local anesthesia with brief sedation.
Recovery: No suture removal required; return to daily routine in ~2–3 days.
Clinical Disclosure: Compared with Natural Adhesion Double Eyelid Surgery, Partial Incision Double Eyelid Surgery, or the Incisional Method, conventional buried sutures carry a relatively higher possibility of crease loosening over time depending on eyelid thickness. Individual recovery varies, and potential surgical risks such as bleeding, infection, inflammation, swelling, or bruising are reviewed thoroughly during consultation.
