Is getting an upper eyelid blepharoplasty at 16 too young? (Photo)

August 28, 2015
Asked By:Kaylesse94 in Riverside, CA

I'm a 16 y/o caucasian female. I've basically had this condition since birth, and it's only gotten worse over the past few years. I look more tired and saggy than I should. Looking in the mirror and seeing this all the time has created some bad self conscious issues and I'd like to find a solution. I'm done with having to put up with this day after day. I've considered blepharoplasty for years, and obviously since I'm on the younger side I don't know if I'd qualify as a good candidate.
