Asked By:jinglebells

Hello, I'm considering DST for double eyelids however I have some concerns regarding the placement of sutures. Will sutures be buried completely within the eyelid or will there be suture ends on the surface of the conjunctiva? If so, what is the risk of this causing damage to the eye?
