Double Eyelid Cosmetic Procedure Before and After - Bioscor International

Double Eyelid Stitch Procedure

The Korean Double Eyelid Stitch technique, also known as the non-incisional double eyelid surgery, is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to create a natural-looking double eyelid crease. This technique is minimally invasive and has become highly sought after for its ability to enhance the eyes’ appearance without the need for extensive surgery. Ideal for individuals who desire a more defined eyelid crease, this procedure offers a quicker recovery time and less scarring compared to traditional methods.

What is Involved?

The Korean Double Eyelid Stitch technique involves making tiny punctures in the eyelid and using fine sutures to create a fold. Here’s how the process works:

  • Consultation: During the initial consultation, the desired crease height and shape are discussed, and the most suitable approach is determined based on the patient’s anatomy and preferences.
  • Local Anaesthesia: The procedure begins with the application of local anaesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the process.
  • Stitch Placement: Fine sutures are meticulously placed through small punctures along the upper eyelid to create the desired crease. These sutures are then tightened to form the double eyelid fold.
  • Adjustment and Completion: The surgeon carefully adjusts the sutures to ensure symmetry and a natural appearance before securing them in place.

Recovery and Results

The recovery period for the Korean Double Eyelid Stitch technique is relatively short, with most patients experiencing minimal downtime. Here’s what to expect:

  • Immediate Post-Procedure: Patients may experience mild swelling and bruising, which typically subside within a few days. Cold compresses can help reduce swelling.
  • Recovery Timeline: Most individuals can resume normal activities within 3-5 days, although strenuous activities should be avoided for at least a week.
  • Final Results: The final results become more apparent as swelling decreases, usually within 1-2 weeks. The double eyelid crease appears natural and well-defined, enhancing the overall eye aesthetics.

Potential Side Effects and Risks

While the Korean Double Eyelid Stitch technique is generally safe, it is important to be aware of potential side effects and risks, which may include:

  • Swelling and Bruising: Common and usually temporary, resolving within a few days to a week.
  • Asymmetry: Minor asymmetry can occur, which may require further adjustment.
  • Infection: Rare but possible if post-operative care guidelines are not followed properly.
  • Suture Loosening or Breakage: In some cases, sutures may loosen or break, which might necessitate a follow-up procedure.

By choosing a qualified and experienced practitioner, you can minimise the likelihood of adverse reactions and achieve optimal results safely. It is important to discuss any concerns or medical conditions with your practitioner before undergoing treatment. If you experience any unusual symptoms after receiving treatment, seek medical attention immediately.
