My experience is that suture techniques are extremely popular in Japan, and about 50-50 in Korea. Because the suture technique works better in thin eyelids, the procedure seems well suited for certain ethnic groups within Asia. Other factors involved are: recovery times, costs, surgical experience of the doctor, patient anatomy.

Suture technique is common here and in Asia
I have observed the best plastic surgeons in Tokyo, Seoul, and other Asian cities using suture technique for about 2/3 of their double eyelid operations. I do both suture technique and the open/incisional technique with the CO2 laser. Most surgeons in Asia consider the suture technique to be as reliable as the cutting technique. Both approaches have complications, and the commonest ones are asymmetry or creases that come out early.
