Is it worth it at age 27 to get Blepharoplasty? (photos)

Please be aware that aggressive BOTOX treatments to the forehead can cause the brows to fall making the excess upper eyelid skin much worse.  If the photos are following the botox service, you definitely will want the Botox to wear off before moving foreword with upper blepharoplasty.  The goal of surgery should be to make a place on the eyelid platform for make up.  The fold itself needs to be preserved.  Over aggressive surgery will take too much of the upper eyelid fold and give you a surgical look-that is a bad thing.  Proceed cautiously and seek several opinions.  Carefully study the surgeon's website.  If they only have breast surgery on the site, you are in the wrong place for eyelid surgery.  If you do not like the results of the eyelid surgeries on the site, it is unlike that your surgery will be any better. 

Yes, upper eyelid surgery can be considered for younger patients. While blepharoplasty is commonly performed to reduce wrinkles in "older" patients, those under 30 who were either born with excess skin, droopy eyelids, or lack of a fold or crease may possibly consider upper eyelid surgery too. If you haven't already, then speak with a plastic surgeon to help determine appropriate options for you. Best, Dr. Chaboki

Much of the eye and eyelid anatomy is inherited with a very large component of aging thrown in.  You have very shallow orbits and mild brow ptosis.  Most patients know when it is time to have cosmetic surgery and it is obvious that it is time for you since you are "bothered" by it.  Because of the difference in anatomy you should not expect to have eyelids like any other person other than yourself.  If you wait several more years (which I do not recommend) you will probably develop a visual field defect and MIGHT get insurance coverage for the surgery of the upper lids.

occasionally if the forehead is aggressively treated the brow drops or becomes ptotic exacerbating some mild loose scan of the upper eyelid.  At being said relatively young people sometimes are anatomically or genetically predisposed to premature dermatochalasis or excess skin.  One thing you want to be sure that you do not have is idiopathic swelling or edema of the upper eyelids.  Occasionally this appears to be loose skin but is really more an issue of fluid retention which surgery may not help or even make worse.  See a good ophthalmologists before proceeding with any eyelid surgery.Chase Lay, MDdouble board-certified facial plastic surgeon

and help you achieve the goals you desire.  An exam would be required to help better clarify the potential causes of your excess skin as you want to treat the cause and not the symptom.  Find a reputable surgeon in town and have a consultation.

Maybe but ONLY IN PERSON consolations would allow a definitive response after an examination of your orbital aesthetic zone.. 

Based on the pictures, a blepharoplasty will help improve the loose skin. However, it is up to you to determine if it is worth it.

In spite of your young age, since you have heavy upper lids that concern you, you may benefit from a very conservative upper lid blepharoplasty. Only you can determine if your eyelid appearance bothers you enough to improve it.Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you what to do based on two dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest that you find a surgeon certified by the American Board of American Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.Robert Singer, M.D., FACSLa Jolla,California

The primary goal for upper eyelid surgery is to remove excess hooded skin on the upper eyelids. In addition, a small amount of fat is also removed to improve with the puffiness look. The incision is placed in the crease of the upper lids. The surgery is usually performed under  a brief general anesthesia as an outpatient surgical procedure.

Thank you for your question.  Based on your photographs you certainly do have excess upper eyelid skin which is encroaching upon your eyelashes.  A bilateral upper blepharoplasty might be the appropriate procedure to correct this excess skin.However need an in person examination with a board certified plastic surgeon for a proper answer.  Also if you have had Botox injections into the forehead they may have caused the eyebrows to drop and accentuate the sagging.For more information on eyelid surgery please read the following link:
