The issue of visible double eyelid sutures leads to a fragmented and unclear eyelid crease, diminishing the aesthetic appeal of the eyes and potentially affecting vision in severe cases. However, modern aesthetics offers solutions to address this issue, helping clients achieve a balanced and defined double eyelid appearance. Let’s explore how to manage visible double eyelid sutures with Dr. Eye in the following article!

1. What is the condition of visible double eyelid sutures?

The double eyelid procedure is a technique that uses bio-threads to create a clear and symmetrical double eyelid. The threads are typically placed inside the eyelid and should not be visible. However, if you notice the threads protruding, it may indicate a problem with the double eyelid procedure.

Additionally, the issue of visible double eyelid sutures can be identified by the following signs:

• Persistent swelling of the eyelids, with small lumps appearing on the eyelid.
• The eyelid crease appears fragmented or faint, lacking clarity.
• Red, swollen eyes with inflammation and itching causing discomfort.
• Small white bumps may appear along the eyelid crease.
• A heavy sensation in the eyelids, making it difficult to open and close the eyes.
• The eyes feel uncomfortable, with the thread hanging down inside or outside the eye socket.
• The eyelids have spots, sores, or crusting.

2. Identifying 3 Causes of Visible Threads After Double Eyelid Procedure

Visible threads after the double eyelid procedure, while not negatively impacting health, significantly affect the aesthetics of the eyes and can cause discomfort. The causes of this condition may include:

2.1. Improper Technique by the Doctor

The skill of the doctor is one of the primary factors determining the outcome of the double eyelid procedure. A doctor with inadequate skills may create loose stitches that are not seamless, with the knots at the beginning and end of the eyelid not being secure. This can lead to the tissues not being able to bond properly, resulting in the eyelid muscle sagging and the threads becoming visible.

2.2. Quality of the Suture Material

Typically, cosmetic sutures are made from two self-dissolving components: polydioxanone and polymer. However, if the ratio of one of these components is not maintained, it can cause the threads toStiff, lacking elasticity, and prone to protrusion during the non-incisional double eyelid procedure. Additionally, low-quality sutures may fail to connect the muscles effectively, leading to unsatisfactory results, scarring, and a higher likelihood of suture rejection.

2.3. Post-Procedure Care for Non-Incisional Double Eyelid Procedure

Protruding sutures after the non-incisional double eyelid procedure can also result from improper post-care by clients. Specifically:

• Improper wound cleaning can lead to infection, suture rupture, and bleeding.
• Not avoiding high-protein and fatty foods after the procedure can cause the epithelium to swell, exposing the sutures.
• Allowing the eyes to come into contact with dirt can create conditions for bacteria to attack, resulting in darkening of the eyelids and pus formation.
• Intense physical activity can displace the sutures, causing scratches and bleeding at the wound site.

3. What Happens if the Sutures Protrude After the Non-Incisional Double Eyelid Procedure?

If the sutures slightly loosen, it may result in an unclear and uneven eyelid crease, affecting facial aesthetics and prolonging healing time, which can lead to scarring. In cases of more severe suture loosening, inflammation, or infection, it may impact vision, requiring early intervention to prevent necrosis.

4. Suggestions for Effectively Addressing Visible Threads from Double Eyelid Procedure and Minimizing Complications

To address the issue of visible threads from double eyelid procedure, clients should visit a reputable cosmetic clinic for a consultation on corrective measures. Please note, do not attempt to cut the loose thread at home.

Accordingly, the doctors will examine and may address the situation in the following ways:

• Thread Removal via Short Incision: If the thread is moderately visible, the doctor will make a short incision and use tweezers to remove the thread.
• Second Double Eyelid Procedure: For cases where the thread is visible approximately 1.5 – 2cm and shows signs of distortion, the doctor will remove the thread and perform a second double eyelid procedure.
• Thread Removal via Conjunctiva: If the client has a thread visible from 2.5 – 3cm and it has retracted into the eyelid causing severe inflammation and affecting vision, the doctor will proceed with anesthesia and remove the thread through the inner eye.
