I have read several doctors' comments on this site suggesting a surgeon should almost never perform a blepharoplasty on someone in late 20s/early 30s. I feel that my lids are drooping considerably and I am committed to remedying the problem. I would like to conduct some preliminary research before visiting doctors so that I can have questions prepared. What are plausible exceptions to the age restriction? What are appropriate alternatives for someone my age, at this stage? Thank you!!
Answer: Upper blepharoplasty age limit ? Age should not be a factor by itself. You appear to be a good candidate for conservative upper blepharoplasty (skin removal only). Best to see an oculoplastic specialist in person for evaluation.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Blepharoplasty at a young age While it is wise to be cautious performing eyelid surgery for perceived excess skin (blepharoplasty) in a young person, it is not contraindicated. Usually eyelid surgery is performed for the purposes of restoring the eyelid to a more youthful appearance. In your case, given that you are young, the procedure would be more similar to a rhinoplasty, where you are improving the appearance of something that has not necessarily aged. The patient has to be prepared that the outcome will not necessarily be a turning back of the clock, but rather a change in their appearance even from when they were younger. Nothing inherently wrong with that, but it is wise to consider carefully what your goals are.

Answer: Blepharoplasty at 30 Thank you for your question and photos. It is possible to do a blepharoplasty on a 30 year old. Looking at your photos I think that removing some excess skin from your upper lids would be appropriate. You should consult an Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon in your area. Good luck.

Answer: Blepharoplasty in 30's? I would have no concerns about performing in upper lid blepharoplasty on someone in their 30s if they had an excess of upper eyelid skin. However I think this is the wrong operation for you. You appear to have droopy brows and would benefit from a forhead lift which would correct upper eyelid skin excess as well as the droopy brow. See a very experienced surgeon for this otherwise you'll end up with the wrong operation.

Answer: Blepharoplasty and age requirement Thanks for posting your question and photos. From your photos it appears upper lid blepharoplasty would be recommended. There is no distinct minimum age. You are on the younger side but it looks like the appropriate procedure for you. Please consult with an experienced board certified surgeon.

Answer: Eyelid surgery for a 30-year-old It is possible to perform an upper blepharoplasty on a 30-year-old. A conservative skin only upper blepharoplasty to raise the hooded and full upper eye lid skin off of the eyelashes would be the primary reason to perform the surgery, regardless of your age. When excess skin is touching the lashes, this can be surgically removed. For many examples, please see the link below
