Introduction
Individuals with thin eyelids and no eyelid laxity can use double eyelid glue or double eyelid stickers on their eyelids to create the appearance of a crease. This method is simple, convenient, does not require professional skills, and can be done anytime and anywhere. However, it should be noted that long-term use of double eyelid stickers may worsen eyelid laxity. For single eyelids caused by eye fatigue or swelling, applying a warm towel compress can be helpful.

There are multiple methods to create double eyelids, such as applying double eyelid glue or tapes, eye warm compresses, suture technique (埋线双眼皮), full incision blepharoplasty, and Korean-style three-point fixation blepharoplasty. The details are as follows:

1. Double Eyelid Glue or Tapes

Individuals with thin eyelids and no skin laxity can use double eyelid glue or tapes on the eyelids to create a crease resembling a double eyelid. This method is simple, convenient, does not require professional skills, and can be performed anytime and anywhere. However, long-term use of these products may worsen eyelid laxity.

2. Eye Warm Compress

For temporary single eyelids caused by eye fatigue or swelling, applying a warm towel or eye mask as a warm compress can dilate blood vessels, promote blood circulation, improve eye swelling and laxity, and may temporarily produce a double eyelid effect.

3. Suture Technique (埋线双眼皮)

The suture technique involves inserting absorbable protein sutures between the upper eyelid skin and the tarsal plate to create adhesion, thus forming a double eyelid. The approximate cost ranges from 5,000 to 10,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement generally appears within one to two months. However, this technique carries some risks, such as postoperative swelling and redness.

4. Full Incision Blepharoplasty

Full incision blepharoplasty involves making incisions in the upper eyelid, removing excess skin, fat tissue, and orbicularis oculi muscle, and then attaching the eyelid skin to the tarsal plate to create a double eyelid. The approximate cost ranges from 10,000 to 30,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement generally appears within one to three months. However, there is a risk of infection.

5. Korean-Style Three-Point Fixation Blepharoplasty

This method involves making three small incisions in the upper eyelid skin. Through these incisions, excess fat and orbicularis oculi muscle are removed, and the dermal layer is sutured to the tarsal plate at three points to create a double eyelid. The approximate cost ranges from 5,000 to 6,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement generally appears within about one month.

Postoperative care includes adequate rest and protection of the eyes, avoiding strenuous exercise and excessive eye strain.

What should I do if my double eyelid crease won't fold down?
In general, the inability to fold the double eyelid refers to poor persistence of the double eyelid shape. Poor persistence of the double eyelid morphology may be related to factors such as age, genetics, eyelid edema, ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelid), and myasthenia gravis. General treatment, medication, and other approaches should be adopted according to the specific cause. If discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. In daily life, adequate rest should be emphasized.

How to Distinguish Between Natural and Double Eyelids
Genuine and fake double eyelids can be distinguished by the naturalness of the eyelid crease, the shape of the inner canthus, the width and length of the double eyelid, the crease line when closing the eyes, and overall eye coordination. True double eyelids appear natural and smooth, with a shallow inner canthus, moderate width and length, and fine creases visible when the eyes are closed. In contrast, false double eyelids have an unnatural crease, a deep inner canthus, possibly abnormal width or length, noticeable scarring when the eyes are closed, and an overall lack of harmony.
