How long do double-eyelid surgery results last?
Double eyelid surgery results are generally permanent, but the eyelid crease may change with age or weight gain/loss.
How to choose a qualified surgeon for the procedure?
Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience and expertise in performing double eyelid surgery is important. You can ask for before and after photos of their past patients, ask for references, and read online reviews. You can also check the surgeon's credentials and certification by visiting the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) website or other reputable sites.
Is there any age limit for double-eyelid surgery?

Many facial procedures may be combined with double eyelid surgery, including brow lifts, facelifts, and nose surgeries.

Can people with oily skin or acne-prone skin get double eyelid surgery?
The procedure can still be performed on individuals with oily or acne-prone skin, but they may be at a higher risk for developing postoperative complications, such as infection.
Will double-eyelid surgery leave any visible scars?

How long before the patient can return to normal activities and wear contact lenses or makeup again?
Most people can return to work and normal activities within a week or two, but you should avoid strenuous activities and exercise for at least a month after the surgery. Contact lenses and makeup should be avoided for at least a week after the procedure.
Are there any alternative non-surgical methods to create a double eyelid?
There are non-surgical methods, such as using tape or glue to create a double eyelid temporarily, but these methods are not permanent and may not produce the same results as surgery. Additionally, they can be uncomfortable and may irritate.
