21 Years old and Considering a blepharoplasty... Is this a bad idea? (photos)

Thank you for your photos and pictures.  Absolutely do not touch your eyes at this age.  You have beautiful eyes and are way too young to be undergoing this type of surgery.  To be fair, however, I do understand what you are referring to, there is a little more upper eyelid skin than the average 21 year old.  However, I would still hold off for at least 7-10 years if possible.  Develop a good skin care regimen, use daily SPF and you will be able to delay your surgery for several more years, at least.  

HI and thanks foryour question. Alhtough there appears to a slight asymmetry, IMHO it is not sufficient to warrant any surgeical intervention.........so the answer is YES it would be a bad idea. Good luck

I have never performed an upper eyelid blepharoplasty on a 21 year old for aesthetic reasons. The pictures show a small amount of skin excess, a slightly higher right upper eyelid crease and associated brow asymmetry.  However, all factors taken together would not be enough to recommend surgical options at this time.

While the pictures you posted do provide some information, it would be helpful to examine your eyes in person to give you the best advice.  At 21, it would be unusual for someone to be a good candidate for upper blepharoplasty.  It is possible that a laser resurfacing procedure could help with your issue of the appearance of extra skin.  

I would first recommend having an in-person evaluation with an experienced surgeon.While the information from the photos are somewhat limited, I can see what you are unhappy about, but I would have to agree with most of the other opinions here. Given your young age and mild nature of your problem, I would be very hesitant to suggest a surgical intervention to address the lids since the risks in my opinion far outweigh your potential benefit.

is very unusual but do you have some excess skin?  Yes... but it doesn't detract from your overall appearances.  If you must have some tightening done, laser resurfacing would achieve that with minimal risks or you could have the 'microblepharoplasty' suggested by the oculoplastic surgeon.  Most plastic surgeons would not want to put a scar on your eyelid at such a young age.

You are way too young to be looking into having a blepharoplasty and any plastic surgeon that agrees to that, you should beware. This procedure is reserved for people at least double your current age

It would be my opinion that you should leave it alone for at least a few more years. You really have very pretty eyes as is.But to be complete, indeed you have a small fold of skin in your upper eyelids.  An upper blepharoplasty would likely eliminate that, however, you will then have a scar.  While upper eyelid scars do very well, it is unlikely to be completely invisible.  In such a young person with otherwise blemish free skin, you may find that even an almost invisible scar is visible enough to be problematic.  This may or may not bother you.  If you wear makeup everyday, then you may not care.

Best to have ONLY IN PERSON evaluations. But VERY unusual to have the need of upper lid excision at 21. I see a minor excess of skin but make sure the risk/benefit ratio is acceptable. I would NOT recommend laser resurfacing of the upper lids!
