If I use eyelid tape or eyelid glue, can I still have double eyelid surgery?

Why you should not keep irritating the double eyelids!

Many people undergo double eyelid surgery because they want larger, more striking eyes, but they also use double eyelid tape and glue to create double eyelids without surgery. This is especially common among students. Although it is a simple method, if you are planning to have double eyelid surgery, it is best to avoid using it, as it can cause side effects.

First, frequent use of eyelid glue and eyelid tape can cause skin sagging as well as fine wrinkles around the eyes. The skin around the eyes is more delicate than other areas, so even small irritations can cause noticeable changes, and later, if you have double eyelid surgery, a non-incisional method may be difficult.

Second, repeatedly applying and removing adhesive and rubbing the eyes hard can weaken the eyelash roots, causing eyelashes to fall out easily even with minor irritation.

Third, irritating adhesive ingredients such as tape and glue can cause problems for the skin around the eyes. In severe cases, as well as allergies, the area may become red, swollen, or inflamed, and in such cases, use should be stopped.

For now, eyelid tape and eyelid glue can create nice-looking double eyelids! However, they can also cause the eyelids to sag and lead to premature aging. If you are thinking about eye plastic surgery, it is better to stop using them now for a more satisfying result.
