I have double eyelids, just kinda thin and small. i found out eyelid taping in like october of last year, and I used to pull them off aggressively. when i found out they could make your eyes saggy i removed them gently instead with oil. however, my eyelids are still kind of saggy and are definitely smaller (appear like monolids on camera) and there are second creases that have formed. Would i still be a good candidate for surgery? Will the results still be natural?
