Is there a superior suture material and technique for better upper blepharoplasty results?

tr64
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
