Makeup after surgery

PN - Dr. Neal Schultz - a dermatologist in New York (USA) said: "Make-up and makeup removal also partly put pressure on the movement of the skin". If you apply makeup too soon after surgery, it can affect the wound and even cause an infection."


When can I return to makeup after plastic surgery? This depends on the type of surgery you have had. For facial plastic surgery, Dr. Schultz says, you have to wait at least 10 days. After correcting the nose, you can return to makeup anytime you want, except for the nose part. Rhinoplasty specialists say that you should not put any pressure on your nose for at least three to four weeks after surgery. Eye or eyebrow surgery is similar.

You also need to be cautious about applying makeup after undergoing laser surgery or chemical exfoliation. Cosmetologist Cory Yeh (California, USA) said: "If the surgery is minimally invasive, you can put makeup back on after the surgery, but if it is a surgery that has a strong impact on the body, then it's fine. you should wait until the skin is completely healed, after three to seven days depending on the extent of the impact.”
Other factors that also determine when it is possible to start applying makeup again are the age and location of the patient. Dr Cory Yeh said: “The older you get, the thinner the skin will become, and maybe the bruises will take longer to fade, the skin's recovery process will take longer. Therefore, stopping makeup after surgery for a few months is a safe choice for the skin." You need to consult a doctor about the wound healing process before performing plastic surgery.
