How is double eyelid surgery performed?
At 8 West Clinic, Dr. Thomas Buonassisi performs two different types of double eyelid surgery; the incisional and suture techniques. Which technique is used depends on a number of deciding factors, and depends on the candidacy of each individual patient. During your in-person consultation with Dr. Buonassisi, the technique that is optimal for you will be discussed.
Incisional Technique: Dr. Buonassisi carefully makes fine incisions in the upper eyelid skin, and removes any excess skin and fat that is necessary. The incision is then sealed using stitches, and the surgical scar is hidden in the new eyelid crease. Double eyelid surgery takes approximately 1 hour, and patients can return home the same day.
Suture Technique: Rather than making an incision and removing fat and skin, the suture technique (as the name indicates) utilizes a number of small incisions, and surgical thread being placed throughout the eyelid to create a crease. The suture remains in the eyelid, and will compress the eyelid skin to create the crease. This technique can be revised and altered at a later date, by removing the suture, and repeating the procedure.

First visit to 8 West — beautiful clinic, lovely staff & Dr. Buonassisi’s bed side manner is excellent. He answered all of my questions and gave me great comfort about my upcoming procedure. I highly recommend this clinic.
I would definitely recommend this clinic because all the staff here are very welcoming and the clinic is very modern and clean. The doctor was also very honest and clearly knew what he was doing. I could put my trust in him to get the surgery done. I had a great experience and would recommend.
