Dual-layer Non-incisional Double Eyelid Method: A Novel Approach for Dermatochalasis-induced Pseudoptosis

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Dual-layer Non-incisional Double Eyelid Method for treating dermatochalasis-induced pseudoptosis.
Three Asian patients with mild-to-moderate dermatochalasis were treated with the DND Method.
The technique employs two vertically stacked buried sutures and levator aponeurosis fixation.
Follow-up evaluations occurred at 3-6 months post-operation.
All patients achieved natural-appearing supratarsal folds with improved Margin Reflex Distance-1 (MRD-1).
Reduction in compensatory eyebrow elevation was noted, indicating improved eyelid function.
Patient satisfaction was reported to be high, with no significant complications observed.

Abstract

Dermatochalasis frequently causes pseudoptosis that complicates double eyelid formation in Asian patients.Conventional non-incisional buried suture techniques are often inadequate for managing redundant skin, while incisional methods entail permanent scarring and prolonged recovery.We report three cases of Asian patients with mild-tomoderate dermatochalasis-induced pseudoptosis treated with Dual-layer Non-incisional Double Eyelid Method (DND Method), a novel technique employing two vertically stacked buried sutures with levator aponeurosis fixation.All three patients achieved naturalappearing supratarsal folds with improved Margin Reflex Distance-1 (MRD-1), reduced compensatory eyebrow elevation, and high patient satisfaction.No significant complications were observed at 3-6 months follow-up.DND Method may extend non-incisional surgical options to patients with dermatochalasis who are unsuitable candidates for conventional buried suture techniques.
