My pre-op appointment is in a day and I do plan to ask my plastic surgeon this question. But I was curious about this question after doing some research. I plan to have lipo on my abdomen and flanks.
Answer: Makeup in the operating room You ask a very logical question. If you're having surgery on your abdomen, why does makeup on your face matter? Well, it does and it doesn't. A little makeup is not important. Eyelash extensions are a bad idea, they can drop into your eyes resulting in corneal abrasions. Heavy makeup can confuse people into thinking that you are breathing well when you are actually a little blue. Well applied makeup can be substantially smudged following surgery. So as in most things in life, it depends.

Answer: Can I wear makeup on my face during my liposuction procedure In general this is not a very good idea. It is not prohibited but if one is having general anesthesia with liposuction, most likely one's makeup will be smeared from the monitors and the breathing apparatus and tape that anesthesiologists frequently use, especially if you're flanks are to be liposuctioned which would result in a change of your body position on the bed.It is also important to make sure the anesthesiologist knows if you have eyelash extensions. Anesthesiologists also use the color of your skin and your lips in monitoring your health and safety in addition to all the electronic monitors they use. Operating room personnel are very used to seeing people without their makeup so one should never be embarrassed presenting without your daily makeup.

Answer: Makeup During Surgery It is fine to wear makeup to the surgery center. However, it may get messed up from the mask placed on your face as you go to sleep, as well as tape sometimes used to secure it in place and to keep your eyes closed.

Answer: No Makeup or Jewelry for Surgery I would recommend removing all make-up and jewelry prior to your surgery. You may have some tape temporarily placed on your skin for airway purposes; the make-up may interfere with this. Also, your eyes need to be free of makeup debris so that they are not irritated. Jewelry, including rings, necklaces and piercings, should be removed. The metal in some jewelry can increase your risk of localized burns. Also, if you have swelling and rings on your fingers, the blood supply to your finger could be compromised! It's best to just leave it all at home.
