Tired of daily eyelid tape…. Beginning to consider surgery
"I'm already tired of applying eyelid tape every morning…."
Yuka, a university student, sighed in front of the mirror. She has been using eyelid tape since high school, but it takes time and often comes off by evening.
"Would I feel more comfortable if I had Double eyelids surgery?"
However, when she researched, there seemed to be two types: the "suture method" and the "incision method."She didn't know which one would be right for her….
So she decided to talk to people who know about cosmetic surgery.
Consulting with experts in Double eyelids surgery! What is the difference between the suture method and incision method?
Consulted with someone who has experience! The first step in cosmetic surgery
"Eyelid tape is at my limit…. I want Double eyelids surgery, but should it be suture or incision?"Yuka, who was troubled, turned to Akari, a beauty influencer she learned about on SNS.
Yuka:"I heard you had Double eyelids surgery, and I wanted to consult with you..."Akari:"Of course! I had the suture method, but the right method varies from person to person. Would you like me to introduce you to a cosmetic surgeon I trust?"
And so, a consultation with Dr. Kusumoto, introduced by Akari, began with the three of them.
The day of the consultation
Yuka:"I'm thinking about Double eyelids surgery, but what's the difference between the suture method and the incision method?"
Dr. Kusumoto:"To put it simply, the suture method is a way to create double eyelids without cutting by using thread, and the incision method is a way to create double eyelids by cutting the eyelid with a scalpel."
Akari:"I chose the suture method because it's easy to handle and has a short downtime. It might be recommended for first-timers!"
Dr. Kusumoto:"That's right. However, the downside of the suture method is that the threads may come off. On the other hand, with the incision method, you can create solid double eyelids, so it will last semi-permanently. However, the downside is that the downtime is long."
Yuka:"I see, so the suture method is easy to handle but the threads can come off. The incision method is solid but the downtime is tough."
Which is better suited for you: suture method or incision method?
The thickness of the eyelid determines which Treatments is suitable! How to create natural-looking double eyelids
Yuka:"I want natural-looking double eyelids. Which method would be better for that?"
Dr. Kusumoto:"When you want natural-looking double eyelids, the thickness of the eyelid and the eye opening are important factors. If the eyelid is thin, even the suture method can create beautiful double eyelids, but if the eyelid is thick, the threads in the suture method are more likely to come off and you may also be more prone to a "ham eyes" appearance. Also, if the eye opening is poor, the options for the width of the double eyelid line may be limited."
Akari:"I chose the suture method, but I've heard that people with thick eyelids are more stable with the incision method! Eye opening is an important factor too!"
Yuka:"So I need to check the thickness of my own eyelids and eye opening."
💡 [Conclusion]
- People with thin eyelids and good eye opening→ It's easier to create natural double eyelids with the suture method
- People with thick eyelids and poor eye opening→ With the suture method, the threads are more likely to come off, and the incision method may be more suitable
- To choose the Treatments that suits you, it's important to first check the thickness of your eyelids and your eye opening!
If you don't understand what's appropriate for you, first consult with your doctor!
Understand the risks and drawbacks of both the suture method and incision method
Characteristics, merits, and demerits of the suture method
Yuka:"Can you tell me in detail about the merits and demerits of each method?"
Dr. Kusumoto:"The merits of the suture method are the cost compared to the incision method, the relatively short time for the Treatments, and short downtime. Also, if you're not happy with it for some reason, you may be able to have the thread removed and return to the original state."
📌 Merits of the suture method
- Short Treatments time (approximately 15-30 minutes)
- Short downtime with minimal swelling
- Can be reversed (varies by individual)
- Relatively low cost
Dr. Kusumoto:"However, as a drawback of the suture method, the threads may come off. In particular, it may not be suitable for people with thick eyelids or those who want crisp or wide double eyelids."
📌 Drawbacks of the suture method
- The thread may come off and the double eyelids may return to single eyelids
- If the eyelid is thick, the line will not set well
- Repeated sutures can leave thread behind, making incision surgery more difficult
- May not be able to achieve the desired width in some cases
Characteristics, merits, and demerits of the incision method
Dr. Kusumoto:"On the other hand, with the incision method, the effects last semi-permanently, so you basically don't have to worry about the double eyelids coming undone.You can create distinct double eyelids even if your eyelids are thick.Also, for those with poor eye opening, there is an option to combine it withblepharoptosissurgery."
📌 Merits of the incision method
- Double eyelids can be maintained semi-permanently
- Even people with thick eyelids can create distinct double eyelids
- Fat under the eyelids can be removed at the same time, allowing for clear Double eyelids
- When choosing open incision blepharoptosis surgery, you can also improve eye opening
Akari:"My friend had the open incision method, and it seems the downtime lasted over a month."
Dr. Kusumoto:"That's right. As a drawback of the open incision method, downtime is long, and there is a period where post-operative swelling and bruising are noticeable. Also, once surgery is performed, it is difficult to reverse."
📌 Drawbacks of the open incision method
- Long downtime (bruising: 1–2 weeks, swelling: 1–3 months), taking time to settle
- Basically cannot be reversed after treatment
- Cost is higher than the non-incision method
💡 【Conclusion】How to choose between non-incision and open incision methods
- People with thin eyelids, those who want to try Double eyelids casually→ The non-incision method is suitable
- People with thick eyelids, those who want to create pronounced Double eyelids, those whose non-incision results have come undone→ The open incision method is suitable
- Those hoping for long-lasting Double eyelids should consider the open incision method while taking downtime and cost into account
What is the cost of Double eyelid surgery? Make a cost-effective choice
Compare price ranges for non-incision and open incision methods!
Akari:"I also chose the non-incision method for cost-effectiveness, but if it comes undone, it will cost more money, and when you think about the total cost, the open incision method might end up being cheaper."Dr. Kusumoto:"I think for those who are anxious or worried about cosmetic surgery for the first time, the non-incision method is also a good option."
