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

Hello, yes you can do permanent makeup 5 weeks after breast augmentation. thanks for asking!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

In my practice I would recommend minimum 6 weeks to allow for healing, piercings, tattooing etc. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author. RealSelf Distinguished Hall of Fame Inductee. Philadelphia, Pa., USA

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.

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.

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.

Performing permanent makeup (also known as micropigmentation or cosmetic tattooing) five weeks after breast augmentation surgery may not pose a direct risk to the implants themselves. However, it's crucial to consider several factors before undergoing any elective procedure, including:1. Healing process: Five weeks post-surgery, the body is still in the process of healing. While the initial stages of recovery may be complete, the tissues around the breast implants may still be settling, and there could be residual swelling. It's essential to avoid any unnecessary stress or trauma to the area during this period to allow for optimal healing.2. Risk of infection: Any procedure that breaks the skin carries a risk of infection. Since the skin may still be sensitive after breast augmentation surgery, there is a potential risk of introducing bacteria or causing irritation that could lead to complications.3. Consultation with your surgeon: Before proceeding with permanent makeup or any other cosmetic procedure after breast augmentation, it's essential to consult with your plastic surgeon. They can evaluate your individual situation, assess the healing progress, and provide recommendations based on your specific needs and concerns.4. Timing and scheduling: Even if your plastic surgeon approves the procedure, it's essential to schedule it at a time that allows for adequate healing and minimizes any potential risks or complications. You may need to wait longer than five weeks depending on your plastic surgeon's recommendations and the extent of your healing.In summary, while permanent makeup may be feasible five weeks after breast augmentation surgery, it's essential to prioritize your health and safety by consulting with your plastic surgeon and following their guidance. They can provide recommendations based on your unique circumstances to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
