I want to have more space on my eye lid for eye make up and to give my eye s more awake look, and even slightly bigger eyes If that is possible. but I am wondering if I have a blepharoplasty or a brow lift young does that mean when I get older my and my eyelid starts to sag and droop I won’t be able to have another blepharoplasty to correct it ? And in the long turn would having one young make my eyes age worse ?
Answer: Early blepharoplasty Unless the problem is significant, the cons to having unnecessary surgery are money spent, having a 'done' look, and disappointment. So not a great idea ...Make sure you consult with responsible surgeons who have your best long term interest in mind. You can usually tell if you are being 'sold' a surgery at your consultation. When in doubt, hold off.

Answer: You several issues with the eyelid. Routine blepharoplasty will be a disaster for you. You have a relatively small amount of eyelid platform space between the upper eyelid fold and the upper eyelid lashes. That is what you are describing as your concern. Yes upper blepharoplasty removes this tissue. However everything is a matter of balance. If this is done overaggressively, you will lose what makes your eye youthful. You also have mild upper eyelid ptosis and upper eyelid lash ptosis. These structures effectively shadow the top of the eye making the eyes look dull. Repair of the ptosis will make the eyes look bigger and brighter. Correction of the eyelash ptosis will also make the eyelashes more dramatic. When correcting the ptosis, the amount of platform show will need to be adjust which is part of the discussion of a detailed preoperative assessment. Your eyes can be your best feature.

Answer: Age Is Not The Most Important Factor what concerned about eyelid staging or asymmetry This is a great question. Yes, sagging eyelids can be corrected with blepharoplasty or cosmetic eyelid surgery of either the upper or lower eyelids. It is one of the first cosmetic surgeries people usually get. While the average age might be 30 to 50's, some patients get this done in their 20s. It really depends on your genetic makeup and anatomy in addition to what exactly is bothering you. I hope this helps answer your question. If it does, please take a moment to up vote this answer on the “respond” button on the top right.

Answer: Blepharoplasty at 20 Thanks for sharing your photos. There is no age limit for an elective cosmetic procedure like blepharoplasty. Generally, certain changes in the aging skin tissue around the eyes mandate the eyelid surgery and thus, usually, older people would undergo blepharoplasty due to drooping eyelids and sagging of under eye skin. The cons are that with a blepharoplasty done at a young age, you will probably need a redo procedure at a later stage of life, the cost effect of an extra procedure and the dissatisfaction in case of not getting your desired look at a young age. Unless it is required to correct a major structural abnormality, it is better to postpone and undergo eyelid surgery when it is needed. My advice is to consult an experienced cosmetic plastic surgeon for precise evaluation.I hope this helps. All the best.

Answer: What are the cons to having a blepharoplasty young ? Age 20 Thanks for your question and photo! There is no official age cutoff for having eyelid surgery, although you may run into surgeons who prefer not to perform a blepharoplasty on already youthful eyes. Surgeons who do perform blepharoplasty on younger patients generally remove just skin and leave the muscle to maintain the natural volume that is expected in younger eyelids. Having a blepharoplasty young generally does not prohibit patients from having another blepharoplasty later on. I tell my patients that, while it certainly depends on the individual, if you get a blepharoplasty after your early 40's (say about 42 years old), then there is a good chance you will not need to have another blepharoplasty. If you have one before that age, there is more of likelihood that you may need another in the future. I recommend seeing an oculoplastic surgeon to be assessed in person. Hope that helps!
