Is 29 too young for an upper eyelid surgery? (photo)

Even though you are young, you do have some extra skin, and your crease is a bit ill-defined. A conservative blepharoplasty should remove some of this skin, and form a better lid crease so that you will have a more defined platform for makeup. I would not take out any fat as this could create a hollow appearance to your lid.

The indications for upper eyelid surgery are not based on age, it's based on having enough loose/excess skin such that removal will improve the appearance of your eyes. Thank you for your picture; in your situation, you would benefit from an upper blepharoplasty. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes about 30-45 minutes. There is minimal pain or discomfort afterwards.

Though heavy, droopy eyelids are typically attributed to the body’s natural aging process, this condition can also develop as early as the teenage years. It is understandable that you are considering an upper blepharoplasty surgery to refresh your look and to match your young age. From the pictures you have provided, it does seem as if you have some extra skin- possibly the result of genetics- that can be removed to give your eyelids a more smoothed look. I highly suggest that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to get a professional opinion in person.

The key is that less is more. You need what is called an anchor blepharoplasty. It is essential to understand that you need the eyelid cleaned up. This means preserving the upper eyelid fold. Removing a small amount of redundant skin will allow your eyebrows relax to a more natural appearance helping them to look full. Grafting of fat into the upper eyelid is probably not necessary. Please do your homework carefully. Not all eyelid surgeons are created equally. You want your surgery to be awesome, so pick someone with great outcomes. If you study websites, make sure that the pictures you are looking at actually are the surgeon's patients. Believe it or not, some website are boiler-plate and the photos are so-called "pooled" pictures, meaning they may be on a surgeon's website but the work is not the surgeon's work!

Although you do have loose "extra" skin in the upper eyelids and can benefit from slight skin removal (upper blepharoplasty), the main problem is actually hollowness of the upper eyelid/brows, similar to letting air out of the balloon. You can benefit from concurrent filler or fat injection into the upper eyelid/brow to achieve more youthful appearance. The short answer to your general question is that there is no specific age that surgery is recommended for. See an oculoplastic surgeon for evaluation.

No as seen in your posted photos You could benefit from upper lid skin removal under local anesthesia.//

and your anatomy certainly qualifies you as a candidate to benefit considerably from an upper eyelid procedure. See a local plastic, facial plastic, or even oculoplastic surgeon as all can provide you what you desire.

An exam in person will help establish what you need. If you have redundant skin in the upper eyelid, a skin only conservative blepharoplasty may be what you need.

Hello sweetie24Eyelid surgery may be related to ageing in many cases. However, genetics is also a powerful contributor, as may be the case for you.Theoretically, there is no reason why you should not undergo a blepharoplasty.The best way to find out if you are a good candidate is to consult with a skilled, experienced Plastic Surgeon. Plastic Surgeons are highly trained Specialists, and our many years of Specialist training give us the ability to assess cases they may not be 'the norm'. In my practice, a large number of these cases are performed under local anaesthetic, with some patients choosing sedation as an alternate option.I wish you well in your search.
