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

It is absurd to pretend that removal of tear trough implants is a routine, common thing. Tear trough implants are a rarely performed surgery.  They are obsolete due to hyaluronic acid fillers which do much more than tear trough implants without surgery. So whoever placed them is an outlier. ...
