I'm a female who's going to be a freshman in highschool soon. I was wondering if I am the appropriate age to get double eyelid surgery. I've been using double eyelid glue for about a year now and found that it made me very self-conscious. I want to get double eyelid surgery but I heard that faces mature as they grow older. If I get the surgery now, will it look different as my face changes? Also, I was wondering if it's better to get the surgery before or after braces. Thanks in advance!
