Best age to perform upper lid blepharoplasty? (Photo)

March 24, 2015
Asked By:Ulitka23 in Toronto, ON

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!
