Nonincisional double-eyelid plasty, the Durable Suture Technique, is a popular nonsurgical procedure for creating double eyelids on monolids. We report cases where the Durable Suture Technique was successfully applied to other Asian cosmetic eyelid indications. A series of before-and-after photos of patients who underwent the Durable Suture Technique were shown to demonstrate that it is effective in reshaping and rejuvenating the double eyelids, as well as treating post-blepharoplasty complications. The rationale for applying the Durable Suture Technique in the above nonstandard indications was discussed. The Durable Suture Technique is a versatile, nonsurgical cosmetic eyelid enhancement procedure in Asians.
Despite upper blepharoplasty being the most popular periorbital rejuvenation surgical procedure, in Asians with moderate to severe blepharochalasis, the occurrence of postoperative puffy supratarsal fold (double eyelid) and residual lateral hooding is not uncommon. A qualitative retrospective analysis of before and after photos of 268 cases of combined sub-brow lift and upper blepharoplasty was done. A substantial number of cases had satisfying supratarsal fold thickness and improvement in lateral hooding. A combined sub-brow lift and upper blepharoplasty is an effective method to reduce the supratarsal fold thickness and lateral hooding in Asians with moderate to severe blepharochalasis.
