I would recommend planning for one week after this procedure.  I think 3 days is a little too soon to apply makeup, but you should be able to apply some cover up after 4-5 days.  Your doctor will best advise you as he/she will know what settings they will use.  I would recommend starting with sublingual Arnica pills (you can get these at the healthfood stores) the day before the surgery.  Even though the bleph does not usually cause bruising, it is surgery and some people can bleed and bruise.  So planning for one week and taking Arnica will help ensure minimal dowtime.  Also, speak to your doctor if you take any pills or supplements that might thin your blood.

It advise my patients to wait until after pregnancy for elective procedures.  I don't think there is anything harmful about the laser itself.  It is not toxic.  However, in our office we use numbing creams and some local anesthetic injections, and would recommend avoiding those for elective procedures, especially early on in your pregnancy, where so much of the baby is forming.  It is also stressful on your body to heal the wounds.  Why take a chance.

Hello,

I would not recommend doing this treatment during pregnancy. The procedure itself is unlikely to cause any harm to your baby, but it is an aggressive treatment and puts your body under some stress. In addition, you would require some topical anesthetic at minimum, even for a very light treatment. Also, we usually give the patient medications to help prevent an infection after the treatment. It is best to minimize exposure to drugs and medicines during pregnancy.
