How Long Do You Have to Wait Before Wearing Contact Lenses After Upper Lid Blephoplasty?

I would wait until the lids no longer feel as if there is anything unusual with them or about 10-14 days or so

Typically, you should wait at least one to two weeks after surgery before you can wear your contacts. This can vary depending on which procedures you had exactly and if you had any issues such as dry eye beforehand. As always, consult with your plastic surgeon to see what they recommend.

Contacts can be worn approximately seven to ten days after upper lid blepharoplasty and two weeks after a lower blepharoplasty.

The use of contact lenses can be resumed usually a week after a blepharoplasty procedure.

What I recommend to all my patients is to wait 10 days. This way the suture line will be stronger and it will be harder for you to damage the surgery. Also you have to think about the reduce swelling will allow you to handle the lid with less effort.
