Can I pluck eyebrows after upper lid blepharoplasty?

tiniii
dear doctors, Ive had an upper lid blepharoplasty exactly 3 weeks ago. alot of my eyebrows grow about 1/2 centimetre above the incisions/cut I already plucked a few eyebrows (and carefully pressed pressed my finger at my skin so the skin doesnt stretch when plucking) I hope I didnt do anything wrong, is it already safe to pluck eyebrows if they are near the incisions? I'm a bit worried
