Double Eyelid Suture Removal, Washing Your Face, and Makeup Timing

Even though double eyelid surgery has become commonplace because so many people undergo it, it is still true that it remains a burden for most people. Even with the simple non-incisional method, swelling or bruising may occur, so it can be a concern for office workers and students who have to go to work or school. If you want to schedule surgery around your own vacation or school break, you should roughly know the timing for #doubleEyelidSutureRemoval, #doubleEyelidFaceWashing, and #doubleEyelidMakeup.

In the case of the non-incisional method, there are cases where suturing is not performed because only several tiny incision-like openings are made, but at Rari Plastic Surgery Clinic, even the smallest incision is sutured for faster recovery, and the suture removal timing is the 2nd day after surgery (surgery day - next day - 2nd day). In the case of the incisional method, because the suture line is long, the suture removal timing is 2 to 3 days later than the non-incisional method, on the 4th to 5th day after surgery.

Usually, on the day of suture removal, blood may collect at the sites where the sutures were removed, so it is better to do it one or two days after the suture removal day. Makeup can be done once you can wash your face after suture removal, but because makeup can get caught between the incisional scars and cause skin trouble or inflammation, it is better to wait about one week after suture removal.

Timing for makeup after double eyelid surgery

It is safest starting from 2 weeks after surgery (1 week after suture removal)!

Of course, each hospital and doctor may have slightly different policies for each timing, so rather than comparing too much, it is best to follow the guidance of the medical staff at each clinic. You should plan your surgery schedule while considering the timing for washing your face and makeup after double eyelid suture removal.
