Usually, the sutures can be removed 5-7 days after double eyelid surgery, and water can only be applied after at least 48 hours after the removal of the sutures, while the specific time when makeup can be applied is related to the recovery of the patient. If there is no infection and the recovery is good, light makeup can be applied after 1 month. If there is local infection and the recovery is slow, it is recommended that makeup be applied after 2 months or even longer. After double eyelid surgery there are incisions or needle eyes, and different surgical methods cause different traumas. Patients are advised to use antibiotic ointment for local care in 1 week after surgery, and makeup is not recommended for 1 month, because the composition of cosmetics is unknown and the skin is more sensitive after surgery, which can lead to local inflammatory reactions and make the recovery time longer. Usually young women mostly choose minimally invasive double eyelid surgery, which has a faster recovery, and can wear makeup 1 month after surgery. While the recovery period of incision double eyelid is longer, makeup is better after 2 months, and light makeup is needed to avoid heavy makeup. In addition, when makeup can be applied, it is recommended to choose cosmetics of a milder nature to avoid contamination of the wound, which may affect the recovery of the double eyelids.
