I'm 19, I spoke with a plastic surgeon early in high school who said I could benefit from an eyelid lift surgery. She said that the surgery would be problematic as I was a high school wrestler. I forget exactly how it would be problematic but she said something along the lines of it may come undone with that much activity. Since wrestling was important to me I declined the surgery.
