1- How long after upper blepharoplasty can you wear full eye make up (eyeshadow, liner, mascara, ) without irritating the scar/ incision line, or making the scar area look bumpy? AND 2- some doctors say you can go to the gym after a week, but what about doing high impact aerobics? a week does not seem enough to me to jump up and down.

Answer: How long after upper blepharoplasty for gym and full eye makeup? Hi Joanne2015,Thank you for sharing your question,We normally advise, light to moderate exercise may be resumed at 2-3 weeks but it may take at least 3-4 weeks before you can get back to higher impact activities, such as aerobics, Swimming / diving should be avoided during the first 3-6 weeks after surgery.Expect to be bruised and swollen after surgery. Different people heal at different rates, butabout 70% of the swelling and bruising is gone after one week. About 90% of the swellingand bruising is gone after two weeks. After two weeks, it is often difficult to tell that if thepatient has had eyelid surgery.We recommend waiting at least 10 days before applying any type of eye make-up including eyeshadow, fake lashes, mascara and eyeliner.

Answer: How long for gym and eye make up after upper blepharoplasty? Each surgeon has their own preference for the timing of exercise and wearing eye make up after upper blepharoplasty. My preference is to wait a week for both exercise and wearing make up.
