Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the difference between the buried suture and the incision?

Buried suture is a method that creates a double eyelid using micro-incisions in cases where the eyelid skin is thin, firm, and without sagging.
Incisional method is a method that involves an incision to remove excess fat and muscle, recommended for eyelids with significant sagging or thicker skin.

Q. Q. Will there be visible scarring after incisional surgery?

Some patients prefer non-incisional methods due to concerns about scarring. However, with 1mm’s micro-suturing technique, incisional surgery can also achieve a natural result, so there is no need for concern.
For eyelids with excess fat or thicker skin, incisional double eyelid surgery is generally recommended over non-incisional methods.

Q. Q. Does double eyelid surgery loosen over time?

If excess fat is not sufficiently removed or the fixation is not secure, the double eyelid fold may loosen.
However, at 1mm Plastic Surgery, unnecessary fat is thoroughly removed and the incision is firmly fixed to the tarsal plate and the levator muscle, which helps minimize the risk of loosening.
