Double eyelid... the non-incisional method?

[tikicat76]

I have a bit of drooping on my eyes as I have gotten older. One is worse than the other. I am trying to find a way to correct it that is as simple/easy as possible. Someone I spoke with mentioned getting a double eyelid non-incision surgery as it is said to be fast, easy, cheap, and the results are good. Are there any downsides?

Well one of the biggest downsides is they are not permanent. They last anywhere from 5 to 10 years. There are also risks involved - cysts, reactions, loosening of the fold, etc. Also you run the risk of them being uneven due to the healing process.

This. You have to understand that this sort of surgery only offers a temporary fix and in some cases it can't be repeated. So once the sagging returns, it is there for good. You would have to get looked over by a surgeon to know if it would be a good surgery or not.

I guess I did not look into this enough! 

I had no idea that this was not a permanent operation. I just assumed it would last for a long time until your skin ages out of it again. So like 20 years, not just 5! I will have to consider this and think a bit more on it. Thanks!
