Can you use Xiidra or Restasis right after upper eyelid blepharoplasty?

Canadian_NewYorker
I read horror stories about dry eyes after an upper eyelid blepharoplasty. I'm getting a little nervous since I am planning on getting one done. I know doctors prescribe Maxitrol or TobraDex, but in between, could you use Xiidra or Restasis to help with the dryness?
