Thread-embedded double eyelids are a very common cosmetic procedure. In fact, there are many methods for double eyelid surgery. Thread-embedded double eyelids are just one of them. Thread-embedded double eyelids are more convenient to operate, and The recovery time is faster and the risks are smaller, but many girls are still afraid. How do you get double eyelids with embedded threads? How does double eyelid surgery work?

1. How is thread-embedded double eyelid surgery performed?

Before performing thread-embedded double eyelid surgery, the doctor will design the double eyelids based on the proportion of the patient’s facial features and basic eye conditions. line, and then perform local anesthesia on the upper eyelid area. After the anesthesia takes effect, 3-6 minimally invasive small incisions are made on the upper eyelid skin according to the designed double eyelid line, each incision is about 1 to 2 mm, and then The upper eyelid skin and tarsal plate are sutured and adhered with polymer protein thread to form double eyelids.

2. What are the advantages of double eyelids with embedded threads

1. Double eyelids with embedded threads have the least trauma and the fastest recovery time among all double eyelid surgeries. During the process, only a few small incisions of 1 to 2 mm are required and sutures and adhesions are performed, without causing any damage to other soft tissues of the eyelids.

2. The technique of thread-embedding double eyelids is relatively simple, so the operation process will be faster. Generally, an operation only takes 20 to 30 minutes.

3. Because the trauma caused by double eyelid surgery is small, the recovery period is also very fast. Generally, the swelling is severe only in the first three days, and the swelling will begin to disappear after 3 days, usually about 3 to 10 days. , the swelling will basically subside, and the double eyelids will basically return to their natural appearance after a month.

4. There is no need to remove the sutures for double eyelid suture embedding, because the polymer protein sutures have already been sutured when they are buried, and the protein sutures can be absorbed and degraded. In addition, the embedding incision is small, so There is no need to remove the stitches, and there is no need to use nylon thread for secondary suturing.

3. Advantages and Disadvantages of Polymer Protein Thread

Advantages: Polymer protein thread is mainly a suture made from high concentration of collagen. This kind of thread is used for double eyelid burying. The thread can effectively promote blood circulation, reduce swelling and congestion during surgery, and prevent unevenness during suturing, and the postoperative recovery period is also very fast.

Disadvantages: The main component of polymer protein thread is collagen, and collagen is also abundant in the human body, so it is easily absorbed and degraded by the human body. If the polymer protein thread is absorbed and degraded, double eyelids will be damaged. It is easy to fail.

4. What are the disadvantages of double eyelids with embedded threads

1. The suitable people for double eyelids with embedded threads are relatively limited, because there is no way to remove excess skin and fat from the eyes during the operation. , so this surgery is limited to people with tight skin and less eye fat.

2. The polymer protein thread used in double eyelid thread embedding surgery will generally slowly degrade within 3-5 years. Once degraded, the double eyelids will fall off, which will cause the eyes to become double.

5. What to do if double eyelids appear?

If double eyelids appear after thread-embedding, you can perform a new repair surgery based on the existing shape of the double eyelids. The doctor will According to the eye condition, the line is redrawn and designed, and then the unabsorbed polymer protein thread in the skin is first taken out, and then the excess fat and skin are removed according to the condition of the soft tissue, and finally the sutures and adhesions are adjusted according to the redesigned double eyelid line.

Note: Double eyelid thread repair surgery can only be performed by double eyelid incision. With the original method, because the incision is too small, the thread in the double eyelid will not be removed cleanly, or even cannot be removed. , thus affecting the effect of double eyelid repair.

6. Will the double eyelid threads be absorbed?

Whether the double eyelid threads will be absorbed mainly depends on the material used to embed the double eyelid threads.

Generally speaking, double eyelid thread embedding mainly uses polymer protein thread and nylon thread. As long as the embedding position is accurate, these two materials will not be absorbed quickly. Double eyelid thread embedding is possible. Keep it for a longer time.
