At what age should I have Blepharoplasty? Dr. Guy Massry

Beverly Hills oculoplastic surgeon, Guy Massry MD, discusses the answer to one of the most common questions he hears at his practice, "At what age should I have blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery?" When consulting with a patient, Dr Massry does not base his surgical evaluation solely on the patient's age, but rather on if the patient is a good candidate for blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery.

Common indications that you are ready for blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery include:
-Drooping eyelids
-Bags under the eyes
-Always look tired

To determine if you are a good candidate for eyelid surgery, your surgeon should evaluate you to see if it is a safe procedure and if the surgery will meet your desired expectations.
