My eyelids are swollen/drooping?

Will my double eyelids come back?

• My eyes used to be really big and pretty because i had double eyelids. But ever since i had puberty, about years ago, my eyes became something like single eyelids, or should i say...really, really thin and kinda invisible double eyelids? Will my eyelids go back to its past form? I mean, if i were to raise my eyebrows really high, i could still create that huge double eyelids, but it only stays for a few seconds before going back down again. I was wondering, if i tape eyelid stickers on my eyelids to let it maintain the form or get used to it, will it stay permanently? I'm really pissed at this before with my small eyes i look really fierce and unfriendly....even my neutral look looks angry.

  I have the same problem! The thing is over time you developed "hooded eyes" or droopy eyelids, due to change in sleeping habits or genetics. The only permanent way to return to your double lids is to go under blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery. Or perhaps sleep on it, for some people sleeping more or less at night has an effect of whether their eyelids are single or double. Eyelid tape stickers are a pain to deal with when I tried them, because my eyelids are very hooded, so it was impossible for them to stay in place, plus it was highly noticable even under makeup. However, different things work for different people, I suggest you try them but don't have high expectations of them. Another method is to wear dark eyeshadow above the crease/near the V-area, and false eyelashes/thicker mascara so it looks like you have double lids. It usually works for me. :)
