How long after upper eye blepharoplasty can you use Latisse?

Question

Also, I’ve never tried Latisse and have sensitive skin/dry eyes. I’ve only heard of Latisse & this will be my first time trying it. If there are other brands you suggest, or any tips/warnings on how to use an eyelash growth product, please let me know! I’m hoping I can use it because after going through the eye surgery, I’m dreaming of also having pretty eyelashes! Thanks so much!

Considering that you have history of dry eyes I would suggest to wait at least 6-8 weeks after upper blepharoplasty. Delay it as long as your dry eye discomfort is present. Good luck.

Thank you for your question. My advice is to check with your surgeon, but typically these products can be restarted 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. Best of luck!

I recommend that you do not begin using Latisse until about 6 weeks post surgery. You want to wait until the incision is completely healed prior to putting any type of chemical on or near the eyelid. Hope this answers your question. Best of luck!
