Have you ever heard that eyelid tape can make your eyelids stretch?

The effects of long-term eyelid tape use on your eyelids are surprisingly serious.

For those thinking, "I want to stop using eyelid tape!" or "My eyelids don't crease as easily as they used to," we'll explain how to fundamentally improve monolids.

 

Is it true that eyelid tape stretches your eyelids?

During counseling sessions, I often hear concerns like, "I feel like my eyelids have stretched out after using eyelid tape for so many years."

Actually, that feeling isn't wrong.

Repeatedly applying and removing eyelid tape every day gradually causes damage to accumulate on the eyelid skin.

The skin stretches, causing sagging and wrinkles, resulting inLess prone to developing a double curlSometimes.

Based on my patients' impressions,Nearly 90% of people have used eyelid tape.So, eventuallyContinuous use for 5 to 10 yearsMany people are doing it.

If you find yourself saying, "My lines aren't catching anymore" or "My eyes look heavier than before," that's a clear sign it's time for a change.

 

 

Is it a lie that if you keep using eyelid tape, you'll get double eyelids?! The best time to stop

Many people keep using eyelid tape hoping that someday they might get natural double eyelids, but only a very small number actually develop the habit. It's about one in a hundred people.

Even if a double crease remains, it's usually a shallow one where skin overlaps the eyelashes, resulting in a fake double eyelid.

 

So, when is the best time to switch to the buried method?

In my opinion,The time when their facial features are nearly fully developed after high schoolis ideal.

After adolescence, the orbital fat and skin thickness stabilize, making the final results more consistent.

Furthermore, the longer you continue using eyelid tape, the more your skin stretches, which can make it harder to create a clean line during surgery. Therefore, the best time is when you start thinking, "It's about time I graduated from this."

By the way,Even after just one week of use, your eyelids will stretch.If this sounds familiar, please consult us as soon as possible.

 

 

“Are those double eyelids really pretty?” — The "quality" of your double eyelids determines how they look.

Double eyelids are not complete simply because there is a line.

How firmly it's embeddedDepending on the perspective, the appearance changes completely.

If the fold of the eyelid is shallow, excess skin may cover the eyelashes, making the eyes appear less open.

For example, even if someone appears to have distinct double eyelids before surgery, it's not uncommon for the crease to be shallow, causing the skin to drape over the eyelashes and create a “sleepy-eyed” look.

In such cases,Create a firm crease using the double-stitch methodThis lifts lashes from the roots, creating a bright, striking eye look.

Let's take a look at an actual case.

This patient has been using eyelid tape for many years.

She came in for a consultation, saying, "I've started to notice my eyelids sagging."

The eye opening itself was fine, but the eyelid skin gradually stretched, making it difficult to apply eye makeup properly.

After the procedure, I no longer noticed any drooping of my eyelids, and they transformed into natural double eyelids.
