Asked By:mumuu12 in Los Angeles, CA

I am currently 30 years old, female, 5'4 and 236lbs. I am hoping to get an Asian double eyelid surgery done sometime this year. I am overall healthy and dont have any health issues (blood pressure slightly high but not on medication for it yet). Would I be a good candidate for the double eyelid surgery, or will the surgeon make me wait till I am at a healthy BMI before getting the procedure done.
