Combo (double-knot) non-incisional double eyelid
VIEW's combo technique ties a double knot linking muscle to skin through 4-5 tiny points, giving a sturdier fold than single-point suturing while still avoiding any incision. It takes about 30 minutes with minimal swelling and a fast return to daily life.
Who it suits
- Want a non-incision fold that is sturdier than basic dot-suturing
- Thin-to-moderate eyelids without significant sagging
- Want the least visible scarring and a short recovery
Technique highlights
- A double knot links skin to muscle for a sturdier fold than a single knot
- Only 4-5 tiny points are made, with no open incision
- Less tissue trauma means less bruising and swelling
- An anaesthesiologist monitors throughout under sleep sedation
Surgical steps
- Personal consultation and eyelid-line design suited to the patient's eyes.
- Under sleep sedation, 4-5 tiny points are made around the eyelid line — about 30 minutes.
- A double knot ties the skin to the levator muscle through those points.
- You are observed at the clinic and go home the same day.
Recovery & aftercare
- The wound is checked and cleaned again 3 days after surgery; no sutures to remove.
- Follow-up at 7 days, with periodic checks over 1-6 months.
- Back to normal life in about 3 days, with bruising settling in a similar timeframe.
- Eye makeup can resume from about 1 week after surgery once swelling has gone.
Risks & things to consider
- Suitability still depends on individual eyelid anatomy — not everyone is a candidate for non-incision methods.
- In some patients the sutured fold can loosen sooner than an incisional one.
- As with any surgery there is a risk of bleeding, infection or inflammation.
- Disclose current use of double-eyelid tape/glue and any drug allergies before the procedure.
Frequently asked questions
Does this leave a scar?
A key benefit is a quick return to normal life with almost no visible scar or bruising, since there is no incision.
When can I start wearing eye makeup?
Once swelling has resolved and the eyes look normal, makeup can typically start from about 1 week after surgery.
How does this differ from the natural-fold dot-suture method?
Both are incision-free, but the combo method uses a double knot to bond skin and muscle, giving a sturdier, more durable fold than a single-knot technique.
