Blepharoplasty in Madrid<\/a> is a technique that is <\/span>performed with ever greater effectiveness and safety in its results<\/b>. Every week, patients come to our clinic wanting to recover the youth and brightness of their eyes.<\/span><\/p>

On leaving the clinic, something similar always tends to happen: enthusiasm about how natural the results look and satisfaction with the recovery process, since it is quite straightforward and practically painless.<\/p>

However, for all of this to go well, we need to follow the advice our doctor recommends. Looking after our skin is what makes the difference in seeing results quickly and in the incisions made during surgery healing properly.<\/p>

One of the most frequent questions our patients have is <\/span>how to apply eye make-up after a blepharoplasty<\/b>. It is normal that, because of the scars left during the first weeks, we want to cover them with a little make-up. <\/span><\/p>

It is also natural that we want to combine our newly rejuvenated, brighter eyes with attractive make-up that brings them out even more. But despite our excitement, we have to be careful about when we start wearing make-up, since this can be key to recovery.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

How long should we wait to wear make-up after a blepharoplasty?\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As we know, blepharoplasty is a surgical technique that removes the excess skin from our eyelids and corrects puffy bags and sagging. <\/span>Recovery is very straightforward and quick, <\/b>but one key factor comes into play, which is the healing process. <\/span><\/p>

The sutures applied after surgery are removed within 3 to 5 days. At this point we may want to apply a little make-up to disguise the scars that have been left. However,<\/span> we still need to wait a while, since make-up could irritate the area.<\/b><\/p>

Not only that, but the stitches could reopen. This would make the scar more visible in future and <\/span>even cause uncomfortable infections<\/b> that put our health at risk. <\/span><\/p>

It is for this reason that during recovery the best thing <\/span>is to wait at least two weeks if we want to use any make-up on our skin<\/b>. If we want to apply mascara to our lashes, it may be sensible to wait a few days longer. <\/span><\/p>

Of course these recommendations are for guidance and are in no way tailored to every patient. <\/span>We must look at the state of our scar and the condition of the skin to make the best decision.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

While it is true that with make-up we can improve or correct certain imperfections in our face and, in the case of a blepharoplasty, disguise the scars after surgery, the fact is that <\/span>using it can have very negative consequences for our skin<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>

These are the main reasons why <\/span>it is advisable to wait a sensible amount of time<\/b> before wearing make-up again after a blepharoplasty:<\/span><\/p>
