✨ The 5-Second Pinch Test


Use your fingers or tweezers

and gently make a fold.

That’s it.

Now ask yourself:

"Does the fold show up easily?"

"Does it stay for even a short moment?"



💬 Easy and stays well?

👉 non-incisional


💬 Fold disappears soon?

👉 incisional



This tiny test answers half the question already

😉






👁️ Now Let’s Check Your Eyelid Type


The test is important.

But your eyelid type matters too.




1️⃣ Thin eyelids

Skin looks thinner

Not much fullness

The fold appears easily


💬 Olivia recommends:

👉 non-incisional





2️⃣ Thick eyelids

Skin feels heavier

The fold is harder to make

The line doesn’t stay easily


💬 Olivia recommends:

👉 incisional





3️⃣ Fuller eyelids

The upper eyelid looks puffier

The fold looks buried

The eye area feels heavier


💬 Olivia recommends:

👉 incisional




<< Olivia’s note >>

If your eyelids are thick or full, d on’t force the “easier” option just because it sounds nicer.







💭 “But I Want It to Look Natural…”


👀 “Is non-incisional lower downtime?”


Colalee St-Laurent said :

“The swelling went down faster than I expected, and it looked more natural than I thought.”



💬 Sure it is!





👀 “Is the Incisional unnatural?”


💬 NOT Really!


Shannon Ong said :

“I first thought about non-incisional, but after checking my eyelids properly, incisional made more sense.”





👀 “Will I look weird after a week?”


💬 Not very pretty...


Julie said :

“After one week, most of the swelling had already gone down.”





💬 But, don't be shocked



Izzy said :

“It sounds like a small change, but my whole face looked brighter after it.”


💬 See?
