Cosmetic or functional blepharoplasty candidates are healthy, non-smoking men and women with realistic expectations who would like to improve the appearance of their upper and lower eyelids or restore vision by removing obstructive sagging skin. When the health of patients over the age of 65 is properly evaluated, the risk is similar to that of younger patients. Most eyelid surgery patients are over the age of 35. Baggy or droopy eyelids can be hereditary, and some individuals choose to have plastic surgery done sooner.
