Eyelid Suture Removal is a minor procedure to remove sutures placed during a previous double eyelid surgery. It is recommended for those who are unhappy with the resulting eyelid line, experience discomfort or a gritty sensation, or are concerned about visible or leftover sutures. Using a tiny 2 mm incision and a medical optical microscope, the sutures are carefully extracted – often without the need for additional sutures. This minimally invasive approach helps reduce pain, swelling, and scarring, while restoring comfort and allowing for future eyelid correction if desired.

Eyelid Suture Removal is performed using a precise and minimally invasive technique. After administering local anesthesia (via eye drops or injection), a tiny incision – about 2 mm – is made directly over the buried sutures. A medical optical microscope is then used to accurately locate and remove them, even if they are transparent or deeply embedded.

In most cases, no additional sutures are needed to close the incision. If the buried sutures are difficult to find or adhesions have formed over time, a slightly larger incision and sutures may be required. The use of advanced magnification helps minimize scarring, pain, and downtime, making the procedure safe and efficient.

1. Consultation and assessment will be conducted.
2. Local anesthesia will be applied.
3. The eyelid will be examined to locate the buried sutures.
4. A small incision will be made in the eyelid skin directly above the buried sutures.
5. Removal of the buried sutures will be performed.
6. No sutures required to close the small incision.
7. If a larger incision is required, sutures will be used to close the incisions.
8. Post-care instructions will be provided by the doctor.
