Types of sutures after Blephreoplasty

LONDON - Jan. 20, 2015 - PRLog -- Different stitches that dissolve at different times, some will dissolve in 3 to 5 days, others can take weeks or months. Usually dissolving stitches on the surface that you can see will generally dissolve between 3 to 7 days. The stitches “dissolve” as a result of your body‘s reaction to the stitch material. Warm soaks and topical ointments may speed this process.

Some of the surgeons do not prefer external dissolving stitches as they are very fragile and they are last for a variable amount of time. They may last longer. Warm compress tends to settle a bit faster, if it is an issue after another month or 2 m, it can be removed, and by that time you will be healed up ad should not worry about a droopy eyelid because things will be pretty firmly approximated by then.

The Majority of the eyelid surgeon uses gut or chromic suture during dissolvable sutures. Gut dissolves in 4 to 5 days, chromic can hang around 10 to 14 days. Chromic and some gut sutures dry out and can not really hold the ski together at 6 days. In fact, leaving the suture in longer than 6 to 7 days can increase scarring.  Chromic suture is generally   pulling away gently with a forceps or tweezers, soaking can help loosen them. The skin around the eye area can be easily perturbed. Dissolving sutures may have these disadvantages:

1.       More reactive to the surrounding skin

2.        Unpredictable absorpation pattern

3.        Fragile in nature

Both dissolve and non dissolvable sutures can be used with equal success closing skin. Non dissolvable skin suture is generally removed within 5 to 7 days of placement. This can depend on the precise nature of where the suture is placed. Generally permanent sutures like nylon and prolene are less inflammatory than absorbable suture. The key is picking the right suture for the job and removing suture at the appropriate time. To avoid unwanted skin reactions, permanent skin sutures need to be removed also at the end of 5 to 7 days to avoid incision cysts and suture inflammation.

Studies have shown oily skin types   are prone to react with dissolvable sutures. If dissolvable sutures are placed as intereupted sutures vs. a running placement they tend to cause less inflammation and can allow wound fluid egress, which can speed resolution of swelling. There are some of the issues that you can ask to your surgeon.

Now come to the eyelid surgery cost. An average cost ranges from £1,570 to £3, 980 depending on whether both eyelid are going to be operated or not.  Most of the vaser (http://www.liposuctionlondon.org.uk) clinics in London offer free consultation for eyelid surgery.
