Seven-Lock Non-Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery

Seven-Lock Double Eyelid surgery is a non-incisional technique that uses seven fixation points to create a secure and natural-looking crease. It offers a more durable result than traditional suture methods while ensuring minimal swelling and a fast recovery.

Who it suits

  • Individuals looking for a natural-looking double eyelid without a visible scar.
  • Those with thin eyelid skin and minimal drooping.
  • Patients who want a quick recovery and minimal swelling.

Technique highlights

  • Seven-point secure fixation prevents the crease from loosening compared to traditional 3-4 point suture methods.
  • Non-incisional technique results in minimal tissue damage and a faster healing process.
  • Creates a clear, continuous crease from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eye.

Surgical steps

  • Detailed consultation with a specialist to design the eyelid line (In-line, Out-line, or In-out line) that fits the face.
  • Administration of local anesthesia combined with light sedation for patient comfort.
  • Creating seven precise micro-punctures along the pre-designed line.
  • Tying non-absorbable sutures through the punctures to connect the skin and the underlying muscle, creating a natural double eyelid crease.

Recovery & aftercare

  • Swelling and bruising are common for the first 3-5 days; apply cold compresses as instructed.
  • Stitch removal usually occurs around 7 days after the procedure.
  • Avoid heavy exercise and wearing contact lenses for at least 2 weeks.

Risks & things to consider

  • Not suitable for individuals with significant excess skin or thick fat layers on the eyelids.
  • While more secure than traditional suture methods, there is still a small possibility of the crease fading over time compared to the incisional method.
  • Potential side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, or minor infection.
