When Can You Wear Contacts and Makeup After Double Eyelid Surgery?

Many people get double eyelid surgery to improve their existing eye shape.

Among the questions patients ask most often when they want to show their changed eyes is:

After double eyelid surgery, when can I wear contact lenses and makeup? I want to try it as soon as possible...

Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery will explain when it becomes possible and why you should refrain as much as possible during recovery.

My vision is very poor, when can I start wearing contact lenses?

It is generally possible after 2 weeks.

However, until the swelling and bruising in the eyes have subsided to some extent after surgery, the eye tissue is in a much more weakened state.

Because the process of putting in and removing contact lenses can strain the surgical area, it is recommended to wear glasses if possible.

What if wearing glasses is difficult and I absolutely need contact lenses?

If it is a situation where you have no choice but to wear contact lenses before your eyes have fully recovered, it is best to keep the wearing time as short as possible and wear them only for as long as necessary.

Please be careful not to irritate the surgical area when wearing contact lenses.

I want to wear makeup after double eyelid surgery as soon as possible!

It is best to avoid makeup as much as possible for one week before removing the stitches after double eyelid surgery.

Light makeup is possible starting the day after stitch removal, but heavy makeup such as mascara or eye shadow is best done 2 weeks after stitch removal.

I want to see my changed appearance quickly... ㅠㅠ... Why can't I wear makeup?

There is no problem with daily life, but you may feel uncomfortable because of swelling.

In particular, in the case of color makeup, it may stain the surgical area, and if cosmetics such as eye shadow powder or fine shimmer get into areas that have not yet healed, inflammation can occur.

Not only that, but when cleansing, the more water comes into contact and friction occurs, the higher the possibility of inflammation becomes, and it can also irritate the eyes, so it is best to refrain as much as possible.

Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery works to help patients recover quickly and healthily so they can return to daily life sooner!
