Hi, It is better for you to consult with your facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and give you opinion based on examination. Yes,  you can do laser at this time.

The short answer is, yes. However, you'll want to consult your surgeon before doing so. When you do laser treatments to the face, the technician has to apply pressure to the area being treated.
