How Young is Too Young for Lower Blepharoplasty?

Eliza97
I'm 16, caucasian, female, and I'm interested in getting lower blepharoplasty, but I'm not sure if I qualify. I have very loose, thin, somewhat sagging skin under my eyes, something I've inherited from both parents. My eyes look older than most adults in their 30's. I know without a pic it's impossible to determine whether surgery is the right approach for me, but before I book a $100 consultation for nothing, is 16 too young/inappropriate to recieve lower blepharoplasty?
