You should be presentable in1-2 weeks following Asian eyelid surgery. I normally advise my patients toapply makeup after their sutures have either been removed or dissolved(typically 7-10 days following surgery). Make-up may be worn directly onincisions about 10 days after surgery. I recommend discussing this with yoursurgeon because most surgeons have their own preferences.
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.
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.
