WHAT TO EXPECT & HOW TO CARE

If you have East Asian uneven eyelids—such as one single eyelid and one double—your early results may be asymmetrical. During your first two weeks, aim for consistent tape placement and morning exercises. Your stronger eye may hold the crease longer, while the weaker side may fade within an hour after tape removal. This is expected. The goal is to start training both sides to respond evenly to stimulation.

By the end of the first month, most clients with East Asian asymmetry begin to notice more balance between both eyes. The stronger crease will hold all day, and the weaker side may start catching up, holding its shape for 8–10 hours after tape removal. Don’t be discouraged by unevenness—trace both eyes, especially the weaker one, every morning to reinforce symmetry.

At 4 months, consistent users—even with an uneven starting point—often achieve nearly full-day crease stability on both eyes. If one eyelid is still weaker, use the 1-hour nap test or 2-hour nap test to evaluate real stability. After waking, check if your double eyelids can bounce back with minimal tracing. If not, target the weaker crease with more precise tape angles and tension-line tracing.

Once both eyes are holding creases throughout the day, you can try going one night without the tapes. If your double eyelids survive sleep without collapsing—especially the side that started as a monolid—it’s a sign you’re nearing maintenance mode. Resume taping for 2 nights after this test, then try again with 2 nights off. Keep tracing as part of your morning routine.

For clients with originally uneven eyelids, this stage confirms how far you've come. After successfully going 2+ nights without tapes, begin testing your max number of crease-holding days without any assistance. You’re now building long-term retention. Keep tracing when needed, and apply tapes only when the crease on either eye looks like it’s losing strength.
