When Can Makeup Be work Again After Asian Double Eyelid Surgery?

Question

James Chan, MD · Answer

You should be presentable in
1-2 weeks following Asian eyelid surgery. I normally advise my patients to
apply makeup after their sutures have either been removed or dissolved
(typically 7-10 days following surgery). Make-up may be worn directly on
incisions about 10 days after surgery. I recommend discussing this with your
surgeon because most surgeons have their own preferences.

Charles S. Lee, MD, FACS · Answer

I usually have patients wear makeup a day after all the sutures are removed, as long as care is taken not to shear the incision line.

Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD · Answer

The exact time frame depends very much on what type of Asian eyelid surgery you need.  Commonly, I perform an anchor blepharoplasty and leave vicryl sutures as crease formation sutures in three locations.  Under these circumstances, I ask my patients not to wear make up for 3 to 4 weeks.  As doctors do vary in their approach, it is most appropriate to pose this questions to your actual surgeon.
