Can I get preventative blepharoplasty for hooded eyes?

Kitty0Cattie
Hi, I am 25 year-old East Asian female. I have naturally hooded eyelids that aren't drooping. But I heard that hooded eyes get worse over time and will droop down. If I get a blepharoplasty now and change the hooded eye to an actual eyelid, would I prevent drooping eyes in the future? Would it help at all in the next 20-30 years? Thank you.
