Do I need a brow lift or eyelid surgery? Was told I have a heavy brow.

User124496
I have always had lots of extra skin even when I was young. It’s always bothered me so I went recently to a doctor to see if I could be covered by eye insurance for a blepharoplasty, but he told me I have a heavy brow and removing any of my upper lid would make it look worse. Is this true? He also suggested I get a brow lift about 10 years from now, I’m currently only 23.
