I already have double eyelids, but my eyelids are uneven. It is hard to see that I have a double eyelid on my right eye. Also, will doing this stretch the skin on my eyelid causing it to become saggy?

Answer: Asian Double Eyelid - Will taping work? Thank you for your question. Taping produces a temporary crease because the skin is not smooth. It attemps to mimic the internal attachments of the skin that create the Asian double eyelid fold. However, once the tape is not on your skin or the sticky material from the tape is cleansed off, the eyelids usually revert back to their original shape. The only permanent solution would be surgery.This surgery is not a big procedure. Depending on the anatomy of your eyes and whether you have excess sagging skin, or fatty eyelids, or both, there are options that would address your condition. These are: 1. Suture Technique (make a double eyelid crease through stab incisions) and 2. Traditional open double eyelid surgery. Option 1 is good if your eyelids do not have too much loose skin or have too much fat. Option 2. is better if you have too much sagging upper eyelid skin or your eyelids are too fatty/full. The eyelid crease can be created wider or narrower depending on your needs/desire. If you have uneven eyelid creases, these can be adjusted so that they are similar/symmetrical on both sides.If you tape your skin frequently and for long durations, it is possible to stretch out and loose your eyelid skin. Another common reason for your eyelids loosening or stretching out, other than aging and gravity, are allergies. People with constant eyelid swelling that is poorly controlled, also loosen their eyelid skin with time.Hope this helps. If you have any questions, or would like an evaluation, please see a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced with Asian eyelid surgery. Nothing is better than an in-person consultation for evaluating your eyes and formulating a treatment plan that is customized to your eyes.
