A pair of bright, expressive eyes is influenced not only by the original eye shape, eyelid thickness, and the strength of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, but also by the position, width, and curvature of the double eyelid crease, which directly affects the overall look and proportions of the face. For individuals with thinner eyelids, less fat, and no significant skin laxity, stapled double eyelid surgery is a common assessment method if they wish to create a natural, clean double eyelid line while minimizing the recovery period.
Advantages of Pumei Double Eyelid Surgery
Double eyelid surgery can be divided into suture-type double eyelid surgery, depending on the condition of the eyelid and the surgical method.suture method double eyelid) and incisional double eyelids (open method double eyelidAmong them, "staple double eyelid surgery" is one of the common suture-based double eyelid techniques. Compared to traditional incision surgery, staple double eyelid surgery mainly uses special sutures to establish fixation points deep in the eyelid, so that a double eyelid crease is naturally formed when the eyes are open. Because the incision is smaller, it usually has the characteristics of a relatively short recovery period, less swelling, and preservation of natural eyelid lines. It is more suitable for people with thin eyelids, less fat, and no obvious skin laxity.
However, everyone's eyelid thickness, fat volume, degree of laxity, levator palpebrae superioris muscle strength, and ideal eye shape are different, so there is more than one way to perform double eyelid surgery. In addition to stapled double eyelid surgery, Pumei also offers the "six-point fixation suture method" and the "multi-point suspension suture method," among others.suture method double eyelidMethods, andopen method double eyelidDuring the surgery, the doctor will assess the appropriate surgical method and the width and curvature of the double eyelid based on the individual's eye shape, facial proportions, and desired results, so that the eye shape will be more natural and harmonious after the surgery.

Staple double eyelid surgery
Staple double eyelid surgery is a modified suture-based double eyelid procedure. It mainly uses special instruments and sutures to create several tiny fixation points on the eyelid, resembling staple holes, and then sutures them to create a double eyelid crease. Depending on the suturing method, it can be divided into two types: "intermittent" and "continuous".
The Pumei medical team uses a continuous suturing method, using the same suture to perform multi-point circumferential fixation in the deep layer of the eyelid, strengthening the connection between the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, the tarsal plate and the anterior skin tissue, so that each fixation point is connected to the other, and together they can bring out a complete, smooth and natural uninterrupted double eyelid arc when the eyes are open.

Pumei Team's Staple Double Eyelid Surgery: 2 Key Features
I. Multi-loop continuous suture fixation
By using multiple points of encirclement and continuous fixation, the fixation points are connected to each other to form a natural, smooth and uninterrupted double eyelid arc.
II. Double knot fixation
Double knotting is used to strengthen the suture fixation, improve overall stability, and reduce the possibility of suture loosening.

Advanced double eyelid design using staples | Flexible adjustments based on eyelid condition
The double eyelid surgery using staples can be adjusted in different ways according to the thickness of the eyelid, the amount of fat, the condition of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, and the needs of daily makeup, so that the surgical design can better suit the individual's eye shape.
1. Stapled double eyelid surgery + lateral liposuction: This procedure is suitable for individuals with moderately thick eyelids, but noticeable fat on the outer side, making the outer corners of the eyes appear heavy, and without significant skin laxity. During the surgery, a small incision can be made on the outer side to remove a portion of the fat, followed by a suture-based double eyelid surgery to improve the heaviness of the outer eyelids. This incision can also be used as one of the locations for fixing the sutures.
2. Stapled double eyelid surgery + levator palpebrae superioris muscle adjustmentIf, in addition to the double eyelid crease, there is also mild weakness in lifting the eyelid or insufficient eye-opening strength, a doctor can assess and perform suture-based levator palpebrae superioris muscle adjustment. By strengthening the central levator palpebrae superioris muscle in the same surgical area, the eyes appear more alert when open, and the double eyelid crease is made more clearly visible.
3. Widened staple double eyelid:Suitable for those with slight eyelid laxity, or those who habitually wear heavy eye makeup, eyeliner, and false eyelashes. The surgical design can appropriately increase the width of the double eyelid, so that a clear double eyelid crease can still be retained after eye makeup is completed.
However, the wider the double eyelid design, the longer the postoperative swelling and recovery time may usually be. Therefore, it is still necessary to have a doctor evaluate the condition of the eyelids, the proportion of facial features and the expected results. Not everyone is suitable for a wider design.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does it take for the swelling to subside after a double eyelid surgery using staples?
A: Generally speaking, there will be slight swelling, tightness or local bruising in the early stage after double eyelid surgery. Most people will gradually see the swelling become less noticeable after about a week, and the appearance will be more natural after about two weeks. The actual recovery speed will vary depending on individual constitution, eyelid condition and surgical method.
Q: Will stapled double eyelid surgery leave scars?
A: Staple double eyelid surgery is a modified suture technique. It involves using special instruments and sutures to create several tiny fixation points on the eyelid, resembling staple holes, and then forming a double eyelid crease through deep suturing. Because the surface wounds are smaller, recovery is usually faster, and there is less likely to be noticeable skin scarring after the procedure.
Q: How long does double eyelid surgery usually last?
A: If the eyelids are not excessively thick, have no obvious epicanthal folds, and the eyelid tension is moderate, stapled double eyelids can usually form a relatively stable crease. The Pumei medical team uses multi-circle continuous sutures for fixation and reinforces the double knot design above the pupil to make the suture force more even, improve fixation stability, and make the double eyelid arc more complete and natural; however, as we age, the eyelid tissue may gradually loosen, and the double eyelid line may change accordingly.
Pre- and post-operative care for double eyelid surgery using staples
Preoperative preparation
- Since everyone's preference for eye shape and double eyelids is subjective, and the surgical methods suitable for each individual are different, it is recommended that you prepare photos of your preferred double eyelid templates before consulting with a doctor in person. This will allow the doctor to better understand the patient's expectations and needs for double eyelid surgery during the consultation, and will also greatly improve the efficiency of communication.
- When consulting about double eyelid surgery, please note that you should not wear makeup, double eyelid tape, or colored contact lenses (such as colored contact lenses or photochromic lenses). This will allow the doctor to assess and plan the surgery based on your natural double eyelid condition. If you have high myopia, you can wear clear contact lenses during the consultation to clearly see the doctor's simulation.
Postoperative repair
- Double eyelid surgery is performed under local anesthesia. Because the eyes need to be open during the surgery so that the doctor can confirm the symmetry of the eyes, patients can usually go home after a short rest and applying ice after the surgery.
- After double eyelid surgery, the nursing staff will immediately assist with applying ice packs. After returning home, be sure to apply ice packs frequently to reduce postoperative bleeding and swelling, which will also help shorten the recovery period.
- After double eyelid surgery, it is essential to maintain a normal daily routine and develop good hygiene habits. Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, and consuming spicy or irritating foods. Also, avoid lifting heavy objects to prevent affecting wound healing.
