Am I too young for an upper bleph / lateral lift?

Brittbat98
To avoid scarring on the lids (rare but possible for my ethnicity, furthermore a thin incision in my palm became a permanent raised scar, so that may be a good indicator) May I request a lateral lift even though docs say im too young (29,F) The scarring would be easier to camouflage with my thick curls. When I use face tape on the sides, the heavy lids also lift so theres skin laxity but as soon as I state my age, (3) surgeons said its better to wait. I rather not, as I already look aged lol
