Will the Doctor Perform Blepharoplasty at my Age?

November 27, 2012

I am 20 years old. I started noticing the bags under my eyes when I was 17 - 18! They are genetics, my mom and my sister both have this condition, same exact form and shape as mine but mine is the most noticeable. This has been bothering me for a couple of years, who knows how many products and make up techniques I have used, but to this day I still find myself staring at the mirror wondering why me. I'm doing the consult for Blepharoplasty and rhinoplasty, and I really hope she agrees to both!
