What Is Double Burial Method?
Double Burial Method is a type of double eyelid surgery that uses ultra-fine medical threads to create a natural-looking crease without making any incisions. By securing the eyelid at multiple points under the skin, it offers a stable and long-lasting result with minimal swelling and no visible scarring. This method is ideal for those who want double eyelids with a quicker recovery, less downtime, and a more subtle, natural appearance. It can also help correct asymmetry or enhance existing double eyelids.
How It Works
Double Burial Method works by using ultra-fine medical threads to create a crease without making any incisions. After local anesthesia is applied, the doctor at our affiliated clinic uses a fine needle to pass the threads beneath the skin of the upper eyelid. These threads are anchored at 2 or more fixation points, depending on the eyelid thickness and desired crease design, then tightened to form a natural-looking double eyelid line.
The threads are buried under the skin, minimizing visible scarring and tissue disruption. This method typically takes approximately 20 minutes and results in less swelling and a quicker recovery compared to incision-based techniques. It is ideal for those who want subtle, balanced results with minimal downtime.

FAQ
Q1: How long does the Double Burial Method last?

Q2: How many times can I undergo Double Burial Method treatment?
A2: Double Burial Method treatment can be performed multiple times, but repeated procedures may cause threads to accumulate in the upper eyelid, which could make future surgeries more complex.
Q3: Is the treatment painful?
A3: There is mild pain during the injection of local anesthesia, but the procedure itself is not painful due to the numbing effect. Most patients tolerate it well.
Q4: Is there any downtime?
A4: Yes, mild swelling and bruising are expected. Swelling typically subsides within 1 to 2 weeks, and the final double eyelid shape stabilizes in about a month.
Q5: What to avoid after the treatment?
A5: Avoid strenuous activities, bending, smoking, alcohol, eye makeup, contact lenses, saunas, and hot baths for at least a few days to a week, depending on the doctor’s advice. Also, refrain from rubbing or applying pressure to the eyelids during the healing period.
