Does Eyelid Tape Really Work?

Eyelid taping to create a double eyelid is temporary.
Eyelid tape is a safe way to temporarily create a crease in your eyelid, also referred to as a "double eyelid."
Surgery can be done to create a crease. There is an easy surgical procedure (done with no cutting) in which sutures are placed to create a crease. These are called "Pang" sutures. This works beautifully, but often lasts only a couple of years. There is also a more traditional surgical procedure often referred to as "supratarsal fixation" surgery, which is similar to Pang sutures, but is usually a permanent solution.

Eyelid tape to create a double lid. Duration?
Eyelid tape can work, but it is temporary. For lasting results a surgical approach is the way to do. Seek out an experienced eyelid surgeon. Together you can come up with a plan.
Tape for Asian Eyelid Surgery
Tape can work just fine and be a lot of fun. However, it is only temporary but it can give you an idea of what you want your eyelids to look like.
In fact, I often ask my patients to tape their eyes at home before a consult to get an idea of how high, low, up, down, curved, etc. they want the crease to be. I find tape to be a very useful tool during my office consults.

Eyelid tape can work to a degree
Eyelid tape can work to a degree but it requires daily maintenance and the crease is always less distinct. My mother used to tape and it worked to some extent but her crease was never really distinct and her eyelid crease would have probably formed to that degree anyways. Double eyelid surgery is really the only way to make a distinct crease that will last for years and sometimes indefinitely.
Eyelid tape is temporary, Asian blepharoplasty is required to create a double fold eyelid
The operation to create a double eyelid is called an asian blepharoplasty. Sutures are used to create the double fold. Tapes are a temporary solution and the fold will disappear once the tape is removed.
