Is 20 years old too young for blepharoplasty? (photos)

Question

My eyelids are hooded, and not in the good way. The skin is thin and loose. It hangs over my mobile eyelid. I included photos (excuse the emojis.) I really enjoy doing makeup, but my eyelids are very frustrating. I would love to have more youthful voluminous eyelids, similar to Kendall Jenners. How could I achieve that? Thanks in advance.

A personal evaluation would be necessary to give you a specific treatment plan, but if you have excess skin in the upper lids, an upper lid blepharoplasty can definitely help. So can additional volume in the brow. This can be achieved with filler or fat.Andrew Campbell, M.D.

Rarely volume can be added to or reduced from the eyelids on young age. You seem to be a candidate for fat injection to your upper eyelids. You can consult a board certified plastic surgeon who does fat injection frequently.

Thank you for your question. It seems that you want more of a fuller upper eyelid. You could do a upper Blepharoplasty to achieve this look. Best of luck!

You have a natural and youthful appearance and cosmetic surgery (upper eyelid blepharoplasty) is not needed at this time.  If you are interested in trying a non-invasive technique, then Botox may be a good choice. Botox can help the eyes appear more open and by doing so may reduce the amount of fullness you see in your upper eyelids

Undergoing any surgical procedure requires careful attention to detail and consideration for different options. Consider obtaining several opinions before moving forward with any given procedure. And always trust your face to a board-certified facial plastic surgeon or board-certified plastic surgeon.

Hello.

I do not believe that you need an upper lid surgery...

Your upper eyelids are youthful.

Remember:The photos of celebrity are with professional makeup....

Best of luck to you!
