Disease description:

I had transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty a while ago, and it's almost half a month now. I'd like to wear makeup today for a friend's gathering. I'm wondering how long I should wait after transconjunctival blepharoplasty before applying makeup?

In general, you can wear makeup one month after undergoing external blepharoplasty, but the timing should also depend on individual healing conditions. The external blepharoplasty procedure causes local skin trauma, and the wound goes through a process of scabbing and shedding. Applying makeup too early may irritate the wound area, potentially impairing wound and skin recovery, and even leading to pigmentation.
