Can you do permanent makeup 5 weeks after breast augmentation?

Question

Can I do permanent eyebrows 5 weeks after breast augmentation?

Semih Yildiz, MD, FEPOBRAS · Answer

At 5 weeks after an uncomplicated breast augmentation, permanent eyebrow makeup is usually not directly harmful to the breast surgery because it is on a separate area. The main concerns are overall healing, infection risk, and whether you are still taking antibiotics, blood thinners, or medications that could affect healing or bruising.

I would only do it if your breast incisions are fully closed, there is no redness, drainage, fever, or wound concern, and your surgeon has cleared you for normal activities. Choose a licensed provider with strict sterile technique and avoid the procedure if you have any active skin infection or if your surgeon has specific restrictions. If there were any complications with the augmentation, it would be better to wait until your surgeon confirms everything is stable.

Please ask your surgeon for their advice since it may differ from others. Each surgeon has their own post-op instructions.

In a situation with typical postoperative healing and no medical problems a patient would be cleared to proceed with permanent makeup at 5 weeks postop; however, I would ask your surgeon.

Hello and thank you for your question! Yes, in my opinion there should be no issues with getting permanent makeup/tattoo in a site that is remote from your post operative surgical site like you describe.

This question is best answered by your surgeon as opinions vary.  She/He is most famiiiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

I would suggest waiting 6 weeks before doing any type of tattooing and being very careful with would care to avoid any infections. Tattooing and piercing are not the best ideas after augmentations.

Lutgardo Caparas, MD · Answer

Hi yes definitely you may do permanent makeup even after one month of the surgery. Just do a regular check up with your plastic surgeon.
