Hi Suzi,
After blepharoplasty (upper lids only), I allow patients to wear contacts again after 7 to 10 days. I would wait about 2 weeks to resume Latisse, and stop if you have any skin irritation or redness.
Good luck and be well.

Blepharoplasty and Resuming Wearing Contacts, Using Latisse
Michael A. Persky, MD answers: Using contacts and Latisse after Blepharoplasty?
I am 50 years old and having Blepharoplasty done under local anesthesia (upper lids only - fat and skin removal). I am using Latisse and wear contacts daily as I have very poor eyesight.
How long will I have to wait before I can begin to wear my contacts again? And how long before I can begin to use Latisse after my surgery?
Contact the doctor
