I am scheduled for upper eyelid surgery next week. How long before I can tweeze eyebrows?

Question

How long till I can tweeze eyebrows? Also, was told 4 weeks till physical activity (like sex), seems a long time. Is this standard recommendations

Jeffrey W. Hall, MD · Answer

Every physician is difficult, but waiting a few weeks to pluck strong hairs would be okay. Its probably better to wait to shave and wax then should be about a month for your surgery. We recommend 2 weeks of limited strenuous activity, but with an eyelid lift, it would be at your discretion of when to have sex.

Suzanne Kim Doud Galli, MD, PhD, FACS · Answer

As a general rule, it is a good idea or you to follow your surgeon's postop instructions.. As for your eyebrows, you may consider waiting for the swelling the swelling to subside before tweezing.
