I have genetically hooded eyelids. At 42, my eyes are starting to look tired and make me appear angry. I can wait going under a knife another couple of years, but I worry whether results of blepharoplasty depend on how old your skin is. Is it better performed earlier than later considering that it will have to be done at some point, or does it not make any difference? Many thanks!
Answer: When to have blepharoplasty Blepharoplasty can give excellent results in patients of various ages. At your age, it is not unreasonable to think about pursuing this type of surgery. It is important to have a consultation with an experienced surgeon with proven results.One thing that should be noted is that the surgery, while it will give a fresh and rejuvenated look, will not stop the aging process. After surgery, normal aging will continue to occur. Many years down the road, you may find that you would like to pursue an additional procedure.

Answer: What age for eyelid surgery? Upper blepharoplasty can be performed on patients whose ages vary widely. More than age, the appropriateness of the procedure is determined on the physical exam and what the patient would like to see, as far as changes go. I have performed this surgery on patients from their 30's and up with great results. Best of luck to you!
