Eyelid taping to create a double eyelid is temporary.
Eyelid tape is a safe way to temporarily create a crease in your eyelid, also referred to as a "double eyelid."
Surgery can be done to create a crease. There is an easy surgical procedure (done with no cutting) in which sutures are placed to create a crease. These are called "Pang" sutures. This works beautifully, but often lasts only a couple of years. There is also a more traditional surgical procedure often referred to as "supratarsal fixation" surgery...

Tape for Asian Eyelid Surgery
Tape can work just fine and be a lot of fun. However, it is only temporary but it can give you an idea of what you want your eyelids to look like.
In fact, I often ask my patients to tape their eyes at home before a consult to get an idea of how high, low, up, down, curved, etc. they want the crease to be. I find tape to be a very useful tool during my office consults.
Good luck,

Eyelid tape can work to a degree
Eyelid tape can work to a degree but it requires daily maintenance and the crease is always less distinct. My mother used to tape and it worked to some extent but her crease was never really distinct and her eyelid crease would have probably formed to that degree anyways. Double eyelid surgery is really the only way to make a distinct crease that will last for years and sometimes indefinitely.

Create upper crease for double eyelid in Asian blepharoplasty
Keiko,
Yes, tape on the upper eyelid can create a crease and give you an idea of the plastic surgery result. Glue applied with a plastic applicator is another alternative temporary solution. Based on the size, shape, and exact location of where the tape or glue is applied, various subtle eyelid creases can be created (wide, narrow, oval, etc). However, only plastic surgery of the upper eyelid in Asian blepharoplasty will create a long-lasting solution. Speak with a plastic surgeon...

Eyelid Tape
I assume you're asian? The eyelid crease is the result of attachments between the skin and the levator muscle (the one that opens the eyes). The only way to get the crease if you don't have one is to surgically attach the skin to the muscle. A few temporary stitches left in for 5 days after surgery is enough to create the fold.
Wider eyes is usually accomplished by elimination of the epicanthal fold or "asian eyelid surgery." Be sure you see someone who does this often....

Eyelid surgery
Dear Keiko, the taping is a temporary solution to modify the appearance of your eyelid. For a permanent solution there are a variety of methods that can be surgically done to achieve the same result - which would be permanent. The surgeon needs to have a lot of experience in order to achieve top quality results.
With Warm Regards,
