Is it safe to wear contacts right after a blepharoplasty if I don't pull on my eyelids?

July 18, 2020
Asked By:Canadian_NewYorker in Manhattan, NY

I never need to pull on my eyelids to insert my contacts. I can just open my eyes and pop them in easily. With that said, would it be safe to put contacts in after a blepharoplasty if this is how I insert them? From my understanding, the main reason to avoid contacts is so you don't disturb the stitches. However, if I don't need to touch that area, would it be okay?
