Quick Answer
Thread double eyelid is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine sutures to create a defined eyelid crease without surgical incisions. It suits adults who want a natural-looking double eyelid fold with minimal downtime. Tiny anchoring threads are placed beneath the eyelid skin to form and hold the crease. At ID Cosmetic Clinic in Markham and Toronto, the procedure is personally performed by Dr. Dan Xu, M.D. Most clients achieve their desired result in a single session, with initial swelling settling within one to two weeks.
