When does the double eyelid created through buried suture and liposuction fully recover to look natural?
The recovery time for double eyelid surgery with埋线 (a type of suture method) and liposuction is approximately 1 to 2 months, with the specific recovery speed related to individual physical condition and postoperative care. Typically, this procedure is recommended for individuals with small, monolid eyes accompanied by puffiness, as it can effectively enhance the appearance, resulting in a natural and attractive outcome.
Prior to the suture-based double eyelid surgery, liposuction is performed to remove excess fat accumulated within the eyelids. This step thins and naturalizes the eyelids, followed by embedding a certain amount of protein threads between the upper eyelid and eyelid fold. Once the eyelid forms a crease, the desired double eyelid effect is achieved.
After the surgery, pain and swelling are expected in the affected area. If the individual has a good physical constitution and recovers quickly, they can expect to regain a natural appearance within approximately one month. Conversely, those with weaker constitutions or who experience significant postoperative purulence or infection may require up to two months for full recovery. During the recovery period, it is crucial to regularly apply anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling medications and avoid rubbing the area with hands.
