Can I Get a Blepharoplasty at 17 Years Old with Parental Consent?

Kiki in NE
When I was 9 I ice skated for the first time and I fell down, on my face of course. My right eye was swollen for weeks and when the swelling went away I saw that my right upper eyelid was really droopy. Today I am 17 years old and my right upper eyelid is still noticeably very different from my left. I want a blepharoplasty to fix it. Am I old enough with parent consent?
