When is it safe to wear fake eyelashes after incisional double eyelid surgery?

June 21, 2017
Asked By:p3achie in Los Angeles, CA

I am over a month post-op incisional double eyelid surgery. My doctor says it's fine, but I was curious as to what other doctors recommend to their patients? Should I wait longer than one month? Thank you!

Sara A. Kaltreider, MD (retired) says:

You may have a small amount of ptosis, and excess skin. In addition to surgical options, micropigmentation of eyeliner would enhance your eyes so that they appear larger. You may want to start with an oculoplastics evaluation for ptosis measurements. Best wishes.
