Latisse

I would suggest discontinuing Latisse one week prior to your surgery. Latisse increases inflammation at the lash line and the goal is to minimize the inflammation after your blepharoplasty surgery. Most likely your lashes will return to your original length after 6 weeks of no Latisse. Once you have healed your surgeon will give you the green light to resume your Latisse and your lashes will grow again. In the postoperative period your eyelids will be swollen, bruised and inflammed which is not a good time for Latisse. Depending on how you heal your surgeon may approve Latisse use after 2 weeks of healing. Good Luck!

I began using Latisse 13 weeks ago. I have scheduled an upper eye lift for November 14th. How soon prior to the surgery should I stop using Latisse? From the doctors answers I have been reading I am going to have to discontinue using Latisse for a month after surgery. Therefore, taking the amount of time I must stop using Latisse (prior to surgery) plus the month after surgery (for healing) will my lashes go completely back to the length they were prior to using Latisse? Thank you JudithKay

Will my Lashes Go Back to Original Length Not Being Able to Use Latisse Due to Eye Lift Surgery?

It is best not to apply the Latisse at nighttime if you are wearing an overnight contact lens. I advise patients to use their Latisse in the morning alone or under their mascara. You will still see all the lash growth benefits with am application. All eye medications should be avoided when using overnight contact lenses.

Hello, I use Latisse since last week, but I have a problem since I wear Ortho-K contact lenses which are worn at night. Normaly I apply Latisse, I wait 15mn or more, then I put my lenses. But my concern is when I put my lenses, I should also put some solutions, which flows a little and get out of my eyes. I'm afraid that it removes the Latisse I applied, and worse, that it makes Latisse move into my eyes (I have hazel eyes and I'm afraid of an iris pigmentation). Do you have any advices for me?

Latisse and Night Time Contact Lenses (Ortho-K)?

Red, irritated , itchy eyes after starting Latisse is a common side effect of the medication. Although bothersome, it is rarely harmful to the eye. Make sure to use only one drop of Latisse on your brush even though the brush may feel dry there is medication on it. Remember that a little bit goes a long way. If your eyes get too irritated you can stop using it for a week. If your eyes are irritated and you would like to continue using it make a visit to your ophthalmologist who will prescribe eye drops to help with the irritation.

I just started using Latisse last week. I noticed it makes my eyes a little red, and after I put it on they get itchy and more red. Will this go away or should I stop using it?
