Guest sarahx3 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 how do i fix it!i have been using eyelid tape for about seven months every day, and now my eyelids are so stretched out. when i try doing my makeup without the tape, i feel like my eyelids have gotten so droopy, and i don't remember them being like this before wearing the tape. i want to get double eyelid surgery in the future (maybe in a year or two) and i want to stop wearing tape in the meantime. it's a hassle and i have heard it isnt good to have stretched eyelids going into surgery. so my question is... is there any way to "revive" my stretched and droopy eyelids so they will look like they did before i started using tape??? thank you!

Guest I_play_with_dolls Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 There really isn't anyway to get your skin the way it was. You'll need the surgery. Your eyes will go back eventually, but not like how it use to be. What I'd reccomend is just stop using the tape for a while. Don't buy skin tighteners, it won't help D: edit I wrote in glue xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ax1989 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Skin generates pretty fast - you don't NEED surgery, just wait out, and apply lots of moisturizer especially vaseline and aloe vera, which helps skin to regenerate. When your skin regenerates, new cells form, making your skin tighter and less droopy. You're still young, so don't worry about this too much. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bBy_sT4r Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 thats why instead of using eyelid tape, use the double eyelid glue instead cus the tape stretches your eyelid out and there isn't really a guaranteed way to make it back to the way it was before you can try using moisturizers to decrease the droopy eyelids but it won't be the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chao vivi Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 theres no definite way it can go back to the original eyelid tape and eyelid glue stretches your eyelid because you're compressing it everday to make it double. i know cause i use it too. the only way i see it is to get the surgery.

Guest chez Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 um well, i don't know much but, glue probably isn't better than tape; perhaps worse. anyway, just don't use the tape for a week or two, i doubt they'd go back to the original shape, sorry.

Guest lovesicles Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 -_-; i don't understand why people use double eye lid tape. it's obvious and gives you droopy eyelids. :| but yeah. just stop using for a while. and maybe.. just stop using it all in all. unless you want to keep having droopy eyelids. your choice, mang.

Guest toxic-apple Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 and I thought using it would eventually form a double eyelid but instead it just gets droopy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jelly_pudding Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 and I thought using it would eventually form a double eyelid but instead it just gets droopy? i don't think you will get double eyelids by using the glue or having the tape on everyday.. unless you start using it when you are like 5? lol who knows... -___-; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lvff_ Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 stop using it. if you're planning on getting surgery, it will be more difficult to operate on stretched skin and make it look nice. (same reason why surgery is not rec'd for older patients..) and it is ideal that you stop using glue/tape 3 months prior to surgery to regain your normal eyelid elasticity.

Guest wootwoot Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 that happened to me, i stopped using the tape and the skin isnt as droopy as it was before but i don't think it'll ever go back to the days when i didn't put on tape => moral of the day - stop using glue or tape ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Namine Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 what is double eye lid tape??? how is it different in preventing saggy eye skin compared to other glue/tape? it doesn't prevent, it causes x3 ? but even with double eyelid surgery, it comes undone sometimes. so what makes you think the eyelid is surefire. >>; uh, with the eyelid surgery, sometimes the surgeon cuts off saggy/extra skin. x_o if it still sags then.. i don't know lol. that being said, im not a surgeon, but people have said that's what happened when they got it done.

Guest MIKI♥ Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 maybe your eyelids are already pretty thin so they stretch easily? one of my friend has used tape for a year and a half and it hasn't stretched at all, in fact now she has natural double eyelids = 3 = but her eyelids are pretty thick so...i guess some people are more fortunate than others i would say stop using the tape for a while (even though you'll look weird, but there's a chance it won't be so saggy afterwards) have you tried double eyelid fiber? i saw a japanese makeup tutorial using that and it looks like it won't stretch as much as tape but i'm no expert XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest loveandhatred Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I had that problem before as well. You may want to stop wearing it every day. Stop using it for one to two weeks, apply lots of moisturizers. I would like to ask you, did you applied waters on them before you took them off? If you peel them off straight away, it'll stretch your skins further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
