31 Too Young for Upper Eyelid Surgery?

No, you are not too young. Though the aging process continues, the procedure will set you back in time and you will always look better than you would have had you not had the surgery. If it bothers you now, there is no sense in waiting.

Dear London

Yes you can and should have eyelid surgery.  There are other options as well.  The challenge you have is finding a surgeon who will do what I call a micro-blepharoplasty.  This is a very precise anchor blepharoplasty, the goal of which is to preserve the upper eyelid fold but expose a uniform amount of upper eyelid platform.  This surgery also removed a small amount of eyelid platform skin just below the upper eyelid fold and anchors the skin of the eyelid platform and the underlying muscle to the tendon of the levator labii superioris muscle that is responsible for lifting the eyelid.  However this muscle is also responsible for forming the upper eyelid crease.  By creating a very precise support for the upper eyelid platform skin and muscle, the upper eyelid platform skin is smoothed and taut and the upper eyelid lashes are supported making them look perky.  There are very few surgeons who understand these details.  Below is a link to my website showing the results of this kind of eyelid surgery.
