What Moisturizer to use after stitches are removed from upper eyelid surgery?

I like Aquaphor Healing Ointment but you should consult your surgeon, everyone has their own preference. Usually after a week or two I tell my patients to go back to their regular facial moisturizer and they don't have to use anything special. 

I would certainly check with your surgeon to see if they recommend anything specific.Commonly used moisturizers that are over the counter and helpful to prevent excessive dryness and crusting after the sutures are out are Vaseline and aquaphor. Both are generally well tolerated, inexpensive, and very unlikely to cause a negative reaction.Silica based gels can be used after surgery to aid wound healing/minimize scarring, but I would certainly get your surgeon's opinion before applying any products to your incisions.All the best!
