I have read several doctors' comments on this site suggesting a surgeon should almost never perform a blepharoplasty on someone in late 20s/early 30s. I feel that my lids are drooping considerably and I am committed to remedying the problem. I would like to conduct some preliminary research before visiting doctors so that I can have questions prepared. What are plausible exceptions to the age restriction? What are appropriate alternatives for someone my age, at this stage? Thank you!!

Answer: Blepharoplasty and age requirement Thanks for posting your question and photos. From your photos it appears upper lid blepharoplasty would be recommended. There is no distinct minimum age. You are on the younger side but it looks like the appropriate procedure for you. Please consult with an experienced board certified surgeon.

Answer: There is no age restriction. It is quite common to perform blepharoplasty for 20 and 30 year olds. Less is more. I would recommend very careful assessment. The fullness of the upper eyelid fold needs to be preserved. I think you need a structured micro anchor blepharoplasty. The effect will be to increase the jewel like character of the eyes with preservation of the eyelid eyelid fold.
