Is It Worth It for Me to Get Asian Double-eyelid Surgery? (photo)

I have decent sized eyes... they have that wide-open look, which I know is what a lot of Asian try to achieve with this surgery. But over time, I've noticed that I have extra skin that seems to weigh down on my upper eyelids when I smile. It's not too noticeable, so I've been debating if it's worth it for me to get this surgery... thoughts? Should I wait until they sag more? Also are laser or manual blepharoplasty procedures better? Thanks.
