How long after upper eyelid surgery can you put make up on the stitches?

Three or more weeks for recovery then make up in my practice recommendations to my patients assuming there is a normal recovery.

I generally advise patients not wear make-up for the first two weeks after surgery. When you start putting on makeup again, don't use any products that are very dark because pigments can permanently darken incision lines. However, it's best to ask your surgeon because they might have different advice.

After eyelid surgery you should wait until the day after the sutures are removed to apply makeup to the area. It is also best to ask your surgeon when they feel it is safe for you to wear make up as they are in the best position to tell how the incisions are healing. If everything has gone well and is healing normally I usually say the day after the sutures are removed but be careful not to put traction on the eyelid for the first 2 weeks to avoid disrupting the scar. It still isn't fully healed for several weeks.
