Is surgery required to achieve a double eyelid for only one eye? (Photos)

allysaki
I have 1 double eyelid and 1 monolid. This makes it very frustrating to put on eye makeup. I have tried making a fold to where i want it, but it's only temp and goes back to a monolid when I blink. The picture is of my one double eyelid and my one monolid. The other picture is of 2 double eyelids when i poke my eye a certain way to get a double eyelid. Does anyone have any tips or ideas of how to get a permanent double eyelid? I am reluctant to use tape/glue bc I have heard eyelids can get saggy
