When can I start to wear makeup after chin lipo?

Question

I just had submental/chin/neck liposuction a week ago. I haven't worn makeup or done my hair all week because of the garment wrap I have to wear. I was wondering when I could start wearing makeup and doing my hair again? I do not want to cause any irritation either if it will effect anything. I get the stitches taken out under my chin tomorrow morning.

I tell most of my patients that makeup can generally be worn about a week after liposuction under the chin.  I'm not sure if your particular surgeon has a different view of when makeup could be worn again, so it would be best to ask him or her tomorrow when you go in to have your stitches removed.

Submental Smartlipo requires a compression garment
around the chin area for a few days. You are able to wear makeup but if the
incision is not fully healed apply bacitracin first then your makeup. Good luck
in your healing process!
