Can makeup be put on the waterline after an epicanthoplasty?

My understanding of epicanthoplasty is that it cuts some of the inner and outer corners of the eye and that would probably mean some of the lower waterline would get cut off too. Does this mean I can still put makeup like white kohl liner on the new waterline after surgery?
