ANSWER Non-incision
The buried-suture method creates a double eyelid by fixing several points with medical sutures, without cutting the skin. Surgery is short, swelling and downtime are modest, so it is a popular first double-eyelid procedure — and adjusting it later is comparatively easy if you change your mind.

If any of the following apply to you, we recommend a specialist consultation.

CUSTOM DESIGN
Design that accounts for loosening risk
Convenient as it is, the buried method's durability varies with eye condition. ANSWER evaluates lid thickness, fat volume, and opening strength to predict how well it will hold, and when conditions are unfavorable, candidly recommends natural adhesion or incision instead.

- 2Number and position of fixation points designed individually
- 3Alternative methods advised when conditions are unfavorable
ANSWER POINT
Delicate fixation that hides the knots
Common worries with buried sutures are visible knots on closed eyes and loosening threads. ANSWER buries the knots deep to reduce visibility and links the fixation points in a continuous chain, so even if one point slackens the whole line does not easily come undone.
- 1Knots buried deep to prevent surface bumps
- 2Continuous fixation spreads out the loosening risk
- 3Minimal manipulation eases swelling and bruising
ANSWER Non-incision: How It's Done

Line Design

Frequently Asked Questions
QHow long does the buried method last?
It varies greatly with eye condition. Thin lids with little fat can hold long-term, while thick lids or eye-rubbing habits raise the chance of loosening. We give you an individual estimate at consultation.
QIf it loosens, do I need surgery again?
A loosened line can be re-fixed, and depending on your condition we may recommend switching to natural adhesion or incision. Easier correction than the incision method is one of this method's advantages.
QHow long does the swelling last?
Major swelling usually settles within 2–3 days, allowing daily life, while fine swelling fades over 2–4 weeks as the line softens. It varies by individual, and we guide you through the course.
