There are no sutures placed for a lower blepharoplasty. The incision on the inside of the lower lid closes naturally on its own since it is a very small incision. If needed, the external incision at the latch line is closed with a Histocryl tissue adhesive. This glue flakes off at approximately 7 to 10 days after the surgery.
