Nonincisional blepharoplasty is widely practiced to make natural double eyelids. However, this method has the disadvantage of the double fold loosening compared to incisional blepharoplasty. Many researchers have proposed a method of nonincisional blepharoplasty with lower risk of loosening. The authors innovated the method to induce spontaneous adhesion in a nonincisional blepharoplasty with induction of partial linear adhesions, and, therefore, lowering the risk of suture loosening. While performing this procedure, the orbicularis oculi muscle and the levator palpebrae muscle were partially incised through eight tiny incisions to induce adhesion, and the double eyelid was made with the nonincisional continuous suture technique. This study included 99 patients who underwent natural adhesion blepharoplasty technique between January and December 2018. After 1 year of follow-up, no double eyelid loosening was observed. Natural adhesion blepharoplasty is simple technique to create natural-looking results and a durable double fold with satisfactory aesthetic results.
