Chet Mays, MD · Answer

Thank you for your inquiry! Yes, a bleph procedure can be performed on a wide range of ages, including 20s. I recommend scheduling a consult appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself so we can assess your eyes, listen to your goals, make sure you're a candidate for the procedure, and create a surgical plan that is best for you and your goals!

There are patients who have a genetic predisposition to having lower eyelid bags at an early age. This can easily be corrected with a quick lower eyelid surgery to smooth them out. And yes, if it's obviously present, it's OK to do it in your 20's. Be sure to see a facial specialist for consultation.

Blepharoplasty can be performed at any age. My youngest  patients are usually in their 20s. These patients often come  to us due to under eye bags. But in general, ideal age for blepharoplasty surgery is 30 and over.

Yes it is possible to have eyelid surgery when you are in your 20's but you will need to be evaluated to determine if you are a good candidate.  Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Hi there and thank you for your question. You can certainly be a candidate for eyelid surgery in your 20's if it is determined that there is enough excess skin that can be removed. Keep in mind that you may need a revision years later as the natural aging process occurs. Please consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or Ophthalmologist.
