What Distinguishes the Natural Adhesion Method, Burial Method, and Non-Incisional Method in Double Eyelid Surgery?
This is Dr. Seong Ik Hyun, plastic surgery specialist at AB Plastic Surgery. The most commonly performed plastic surgery among various procedures is double eyelid surgery. While it may seem like a simple procedure to create double eyelids, it is performed using various surgical methods depending on factors such as the amount of eyelid fat, degree of sagging, and shape of the eyes for each individual. For those considering double eyelid surgery, you may have heard of various techniques such as natural adhesion, burial method, non-incisional, and incisional. Today, I'll explain the differences between these methods.
If you're exploring double eyelid surgery, you might have come across terms like the burial method, non-incisional, and natural adhesion. What are the differences?
The main double eyelid surgery methods are classified into non-incisional, incisional, and partial incision methods.
The incisional method involves removing unnecessary muscles and fat through an incision and creating adhesion. The non-incisional method creates adhesion by tying threads through small holes without making incisions. The partial incision method combines aspects of both incisional and non-incisional approaches. Because there are many names used to describe non-incisional surgery, confusion often arises. Techniques such as the double knot method or five-hole method all fall under non-incisional surgery. In this approach, small holes are made, and threads are used to connect the skin, muscle, and eyelid plate to form adhesion.
You can think of non-incisional, burial method, and natural adhesion as the same surgical technique.
The natural adhesion method is largely a marketing term suggesting minimal scarring and a natural outcome. The burial method is often described as stitching. In essence, both refer to the same non-incisional double eyelid surgery. However, non-incisional techniques are not suitable for all cases. When fat removal or correction of significant eyelid drooping is required, incisional surgery is necessary. Partial incision methods may be chosen when some fat removal is needed but full incision is not required. Additionally, the technique may vary based on the number of fixation points and knot styles depending on eyelid condition.
In summary, double eyelid surgery can be divided into incisional, non-incisional, and partial incision methods. Natural adhesion and burial methods fall under the non-incisional category. However, the most suitable method should always be selected based on accurate diagnosis, considering eyelid fat, sagging, and eye shape. I look forward to continuing to share reliable medical information with you.
