How long after double eye lid surgery and lateral canthoplasty can I start wearing my contacts and makeup?

Most docs would advise to wait 2 weeks. My own feeling is that this is very conservative and if the wound closure is good and the ocular surface is healthy you should be able to wear lenses and makeup at 1 week. This is routine in my practice and patients have not had any problems. Best of luck.

Dear JenJames5,Thank you for your question about double eyelid surgery and lateral canthoplasty. You can start wearing make up and contacts as soon as the incisions have healed well enough that they are no longer forming scabs. Usually this is at the 1-2 week mark. To have a more definitive answer, I would recommend discussing this with you Surgeon.Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns!Sincerely,Dr. P Daniel Ward

Patient are usually cleared to resume contact lenses and makeup usage about two weeks after surgery, but it is always best to check with your surgeon.

I usually have my patients wait at least 2 weeks, but this is a question you should ask of your surgeon.  Best wishes.

Ultimately, you need your personal doctor's answer. But I let my patients start using these after only one week.
However, this depends on how well they are doing. If someone has dry eye problems or symptoms, it might be longer until this gets better.
Do not pull down on the lower eyelid at all. This is because you had a canthoplasty as well. You don't want to injure this repair. And be gentle wiping off the makeup.
These are recommendations that I give. Your doctor has the final say!
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. I typically tell my patients they can resume wearing contacts and eye make-up at their post op appointment which is 10-14 days after surgery. And that is when I remove the sutures. Best of luck, Dr. Heffernan

Thank you for your question.
Every plastic surgery office has their own set of pre and post operative instructions that they recommend their patients follow. I encourage you to refer to these instructions. However, in our office we typically would like the patient to wait at least 2 weeks before wearing contacts, and makeup after sutures are out and skin edges are healed. 
Hope this is helpful. 

In general, I allow my patients to wear contacts after about two weeks after surgery. You are best to ask your doc.

When you can wear make-up after a blepharoplasty is generally allowed  after 6-24 hours after all sutures have been removed. When you can wear contacts again is dependent on exactly what was done. Upper and lower blepharoplasty, especially with a canthoplasty, require you to not pull on the lids, such as inserting contacts, for some time until healing is adequate. Since this varies by the technique, you need to discuss this with your surgeon.
