Eye surgery
Natural-fold (dot-suture) double eyelid
VIEW's dot-suture technique forms the crease by tying skin to the levator muscle through 4-5 tiny points, with no incision at all. It takes about 30 minutes with minimal swelling and virtually no visible mark even with eyes closed — suited to thin eyelids with little fat that want a natural-looking fold.
Who it suits
- Thin eyelids with little fat or muscle
- Want a crease that looks innate
- Concerned about scarring and want short downtime
Technique highlights
- No incision — only 4-5 tiny points are made around the eyelid line
- Skin is tied to the levator muscle for a semi-permanent fold
- Minimal tissue trauma and less swelling than incision methods
- An anaesthesiologist monitors throughout under sleep sedation
Surgical steps
- In-depth consultation and eyelid line design tailored to each patient's eyes.
- Under sleep sedation, 4-5 tiny points are made along the designed crease line — the procedure takes about 30 minutes.
- Skin is bonded to the levator muscle through those points, then the inner and outer eyelid are linked with thread.
- You are observed at the clinic then go home the same day — no hospital admission needed.
Recovery & aftercare
- No suture removal is needed with this dot-suture method, but the wound is checked and cleaned again about 3 days after surgery.
- Follow-up at 7 days, with periodic checks over 1-6 months after surgery.
- Back to normal daily life in about 1 day; overall bruising and swelling settle within 3 days.
- Eye makeup can resume once swelling has gone down and the area has settled.
Risks & things to consider
- Results depend on each patient's eyelid anatomy and aftercare, so identical outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
- Choosing a technique that does not suit the eye shape can make the fold loosen or fade sooner than expected.
- As with any surgery, there is a risk of bleeding, infection or post-operative inflammation.
- Disclose any drug allergies and previous eye surgery to the surgeon before deciding.
Frequently asked questions
Will this result be permanent?
Choosing the technique — incision or non-incision — that suits your eyes reduces the risk of the fold loosening, though outcomes still vary by individual.
Can I still have this surgery if I currently use double-eyelid tape or glue?
In many cases the non-incision method can address it, following a specialist consultation to confirm your eyes are suited to this technique.
How long is the procedure and is a hospital stay needed?
It takes about 30 minutes under sleep sedation, with no hospital admission — you go home the same day.
