Steady.

In this stage, your ideal crease can last all day even when you are doing only minimal eyelid crease exercise support. You can take a two to three hour nap and still wake up with the ideal crease holding. If the ideal crease temporarily fails because of crying, inadequate sleep, or puffiness from alcohol consumption, it becomes easier and easier to restore it back to full strength, and you need less immediate effort with eyelid crease exercises than you did earlier in the journey.

After fine tuning the shape of the F-tape, Megan’s ideal crease rarely failed in the morning anymore. When her crease did get challenged, it usually did not fully collapse, but instead became weaker. As time went on, she noticed that when the crease became weak, it could often recover back to full strength on its own. At this stage, the main eyelid crease exercise she still practiced consistently was Looking-Up, and she kept her morning phone use to a bare minimum to protect her results during the most fragile part of the day.

Throughout Megan’s journey, she did her best to keep the ideal crease folded as consistently as possible, because repetition is what builds stability. A study by Goesel Anson, MD, FACS, describes the idea that temporary wrinkles created by repetitive folding can predict where permanent wrinkles form, which helps explain why consistent folding matters over time. Megan’s steady results did not happen by accident, because she kept experimenting with small modifications to her F-tape, including adjusting the shape and the angle to match her individual eyelid profile more closely. We also think her mindset mattered, because when she had poor results, she did not give up or guess randomly. Instead, she proactively tested different application approaches and checked in with her Eyelid Advisor, which helped her correct issues quickly and stay on track.
