I want to apply some coverup. How long after blepharoplasty can I wear makeup?

Incisions like healing in a clean, stress-free environment. And happy, healthy incisions yield inconspicuous scars.

Proper wound care, adequate blood flow, healthful nutrition, and lack of foreign material/debris are all part of that stress-free healing zone. This is most critical in the first 1-2 weeks.

Makeup can contain irritating ingredients, bacteria, and foreign material. All of these should be avoided, as much as possible, during the acute healing phase.

I advise patient to wait at least 2 weeks after a blepharoplasty to apply any eye makeup. In rare circumstances, you may be advised to wait even longer.
