Double eyelid suturing, also known as double eyelid stitching, is a non-incisional procedure and is minimally invasive.

The buried suture technique is one of the surgical methods used for upper blepharoplasty in Asian countries, primarily in double eyelid suturing.

These can be used to correct upper eyelid epiblepharon for cases involving minimal fat under the skin of the upper eyelid, or in cases where a double eyelid can be easily made by an eyelid creaser.
