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: Sutures dont make long term difference Sutures dont make a long term difference in terms of scarring. Absorbable sutures tend to come out/break a little easier so you have to more careful with touching and rubbing your eye. They are often more comfortable when lubricated so most common lo y are used on the lower eyelids so the eye isn't as irritated. However, surgeon preference is the most common deciding factor. This shouldn't be the issue you are too worried about.

Answer: Suture techniques in blepharoplasty The most important factor in achieving the optimal scar after blepharoplasty (or any other procedure) is the skill of the surgeon and his or her attention to detail. The particular suture used or the closure technique utilized is of limited importance. However, timing for suture removal may affect the outcome; sutures left in place too long could leave marks. Some dissolvable sutures may not "fall out" early enough and could leave the track marks I am referring to.

Answer: Running sutures vs interrupted. On patient with thin skin, typically Northern European background, a buried running suture can work well. For other ethnicities with somewhat thicker skin, I prefer a combination of interrupted and running sutures. Interrupted sutures give a more precise closure but are tedious (and tender) to remove, so a running is combined to reduce the need for interrupteds that run full length.

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.
