Recovery Rate for Incision versus Suture Techniques

The two basic techniques for double eyelid surgery are suture technique and incision technique. The advantages of suture techniques over incision techniques are:
a. faster surgery
b. less swelling
c. shorter down time
Below are the pictures of patients who underwent suture technique versus incision technique.

The pictures were taken before and ten days after double eyelid surgery.

The patient who underwent incision technique still had some swelling

whereas the suture technique patient had little swelling.
