When Can I Start "Washing my Eyes" After Double Eyelid Surgery?

September 1, 2010
Asked By:shiningstar in usa

Hi, I recently got double eyelid surgery and was wondering when I could start washing my eyes. I am currently washing my face carefully avoiding my eyes and making sure that water doesn't touch my eyelids. I wanted to start wearing eye makeup again but I'm afraid that I might damage the sutures while trying to remove my makeup.
