How long does it take before I can put on makeup?

How long after thread embedding can you put on makeup? This is a question many people ask. After completing double eyelid surgery using the buried suture method, the eyelids will experience congestion and edema. Once these symptoms disappear, you can then put on makeup. The time it takes for eyelid swelling to subside is also related to many factors. If the surgeon's technique is rough and the damage to the eyelid is serious, the eyelid swelling will subside more slowly. Let’s take a closer look at how long it takes before you can put on makeup.

Experts point out that how long you can wait before you can put on makeup after buried suture double eyelid surgery depends on the patient's recovery. In the early stage after buried suture double eyelid surgery, there may be bruises around the eyes, and some may even have cyanosis. Swelling will be obvious within 2 to 3 days, and the swelling will disappear within 5 to 6 days, and the bruises will gradually turn into light yellow. You can use ice packs for 24 hours after surgery, and then switch to hot compresses after the stitches are removed, which can help reduce swelling. Ten days after the operation, the swelling had basically disappeared and the lines of the double eyelids were smooth and very natural. Now you can put on makeup without any worries. Some people recover better and can do simple makeup after about a week, but the force should be gentle at this time and it is best not to get the operated area wet to avoid wound infection.

One month after buried suture double eyelid surgery, the eyes will basically recover completely and return to their natural state. During this period, you can simply apply some light makeup, but be careful when removing makeup and don't rub it too hard. If you want the thread embedding to last longer, try not to rub your eyes, because the threads may be rubbed off and the double eyelids will easily disappear.
