In my research I've come across different suture techniques (e.g., running, interrupted) used by different doctors. Some sutures have no knots and are removed by just pulling out at outer corner of eye. Wondering what is the best method for optimum results and if there is a difference on how scar heals and the quality of the scar

Answer: Best suture type of upper blepharoplasty closure Surgeons often have their preferred method and suture type when closing the eyelid. The specific suture material probably doesn't make a huge difference and once the eyelid heals the scar will likely look very similar regardless of the suture material used. A smaller gauge is typically preferred compared with a thicker gauge given how thin the eyelid skin is.I typically prefer using a very thin non-absorbing suture that is removed about 1 week after surgery. In my hands this method works great.More important for your upper lid results is the design of the skin excision and wound closure technique rather than the specific suture used.You can learn more about blepharoplasty surgery at my web reference link below.
