Latisse after surgery
It sounds like you are very enthusiastic to show off your new eyes and that's great but, I think it would be wise to wait at least a month before beginning, or returning to, using Latisse to insure that your eyelids and incisions are well healed. Always best to ask the surgeon who performed the surgery for their opinion before using any product.

Latisse After a Blepharoplasty
Latisse is safe to use once the skin has healed from your blepharoplasty. Eyelid skin heals quickly so a month should be sufficient time to heal. You should wait until all signs of inflammation (redness) have resolved. Latisse is applied daily with a disposable brush which is included with product. Since Latisse is gently applied along the base of the upper eyelashes you should also be careful to avoid the area of the surgical incision. If signs of inflammation develop once you are using...

Eye surgery and latisse
In my practice I recommend 3 months after eyelid surgery before using Latisse again, just to be sure that my patient is well healed. I would refer you back to your surgeon and what they are comfortable with.

Can I use Latisse after eyelid surgery?
I would tend to agree with the other experts in that you should probably wait about a month before using Latisse. Although there are very few issues associated with its use, it may irritate your healing incision line if used too early.
I hope that helps!

Latisse after Blepharoplasty
I would wait until the scarring/healing process has slowed down, usually about 6 months after the surgery. Prostaglandins can cause increased inflammation which can cause hyperpigmentation. If you have an incision line that is still healing, it may become hyperpigmented, especially if your skin is pigmented (African-Americans, Asians, Hispanics and even some darker-featured Caucasians). Then again, many people's incision lines are not very visible after blepharoplasty in which case you may...

Latisse is safe after surgery, once you're fully healed
It is safe to use Latisse to grow longer, thicker, fuller eyelashes once you are fully healed. I recommend to my patients that they wait a month after upper eyelid surgery before beginning Latisse. It will take about 2 months for your eyelashes to grow -be sure to use it once a day for best results. (Using it more than once a day will not enhance your results).

Latisse after eyelid surgery
There isn't any reason I can think of that would prevent you from using Latisse after eyelid surgery has totally healed. Ask your surgeon what they want you to do in terms of waiting.

Latisse and eyelid surgery
Latisse is a very safe product. However it works because it is a prostaglandin. Prostaglandins increase your bodies inflammatory response. As you heal from surgery there is inflammation of the eyelids. Latisse could possibly make the inflammation (redness and swelling) worse.
I would wait until you have healed from the surgery and there is no more swelling or significant redness of the skin). For most people that would be between 4-6 weeks....

Latisse after Blepharoplasty
Latisse is safe to use after surgery and should not affect the wound unless you put excess pressure on the wound.
If you use it gently, you shouldn't have a problem but it should be discussed with your operating surgeon before
you begin using it again.
Sincerely,
Dr. Scheiner
