Do eyelid sutures dissolve on their own?

Do eyelid sutures dissolve on their own? Generally, eyelid sutures dissolve within 15-60 days, or up to 6 months depending on individual body characteristics and the type of suture used. However, this does not mean the eyelid crease will disappear completely. With extensive professional experience, Dr Xuan Quan Clinic will help you categorize the different types of eyelid sutures currently available to ensure radiant aesthetic results and stable durability.

Types of threads used in eyelid surgery

First, you need to know that in modern eyelid surgery, two main types of sutures are used. Each type determines the durability, naturalness, and post-operative care process differently.

• Absorbable sutures: These are usually ultra-thin, strong, and durable collagen sutures that are difficult to break. This type of suture is biodegradable, so patients don’t need suture removal after surgery, resulting in a natural and gentle eyelid crease.
• Non-absorbable sutures: These are specialized aesthetic sutures that are durable and highly compatible with the body. Because they don’t dissolve naturally, they help fix the eyelid crease in place; however, they are less commonly used in modern eyelid surgery techniques.

Non-dissolving eyelid sutures: Causes, treatment, and risks

Many clients worry about eyelid surgery lasting too long in the body or causing unwanted reactions. The following explanations will help you identify your situation and take timely action.

Is it possible for eyelid surgery to be non-absorbable?

In fact, besides the types of sutures that dissolve within 15-60 days, many current techniques use non-absorbable sutures (such as polymer sutures or ultra-fine nylon sutures) to maintain the eyelid crease permanently. If you use these types of sutures, they will remain fixed in the eyelid unless surgically removed.

Handling methods and level of danger

• Normal case: If non-absorbable sutures are used, they are completely safe, pose no danger, and help maintain the eyelid crease for 5-10 years.
• Complications: If the eyelid crease area feels uncomfortable, painful, or the suture ends protrude due to incorrect technique, you need to see a doctor immediately.
• Professional treatment: The doctor will perform a minor surgical procedure to remove the old sutures, address irritation, and potentially create a new, safer eyelid crease.
• Post-operative care: After the procedure, you only need to follow the care instructions and have the sutures removed after 7 days to allow the eye area to recover to its natural state.
