Answer: Makeup After Facelift Surgery Ask your surgeon to get the most appropriate answer for your specific case, but I am usually okay with foundation and makeup 10 days post-surgery.

Answer: Foundation Post-Facelift It is completely understandable that you are conscious about the redness on your face following your facelift and laser treatment. However, during this crucial recovery time, it is important to give your face as much breathing time as possible, avoiding heavy makeup that can clog your pores. For at least the first 10-14 days, please refrain from applying any foundation or concealer to your face. After this time, and with your doctor’s official approval, you should be cleared to apply makeup gently and sparingly to mask the residual redness you are experiencing.

Answer: Applying Make-up After a Facelift and Laser Procedure I recommend confirming with your plastic surgeon, but in most instances a liquid make-up concealer may be applied 2 weeks after a facelift. With regard to the laser procedure by your mouth, it's important to note that there are many different types of resurfacing lasers with different depths, so without seeing you, it's difficult to determine when you'd be able to use make-up on that area. However, when I perform most of our laser resurfacing procedures with a fractionated CO2 laser, we typically allow patients to apply make-up after two weeks time. Again, please check with your plastic surgeon for his or her specific post-op instructions.

Answer: Make-up after Facelift and laser Laser treatments can vary significantly in the depth of treatment and therefore time of healing. In general even most deep laser treatments are healed by one week. Once the skin is fully healed I allow patients to resume wearing make-up. I recommend using a product that you have used in the past and tolerated well. Make sure to wear sunscreen as well to protect your newly resurfaced skin.
