Blepharoplasty for a 15 Year Old? (photo)

August 7, 2013
Asked By:Wthrwthr in Chattanooga, TN

I'm 15 years old, male, and am no stranger to plastic surgery. (I hope to become a plastic surgeon.) On both sides of my family, everyone has droopy and fatty eyelids, and it never seems to go away with age, only worsen. I have inherited this trait and think I would be much happier having an upper blepharoplasty to give me a more normal eyelid, as well as better vision. I have thought about this for about 6 weeks now. Is this surgery an option for me? Costs? My parents are fine with it.
