Can you wear makeup after eyelid( blepharoplasty) surgery?

Question:

I would like upper and lower lid blepharoplasty. I have very sparse eyelashes and I am worried that the incisions will affect my eyelashes. Could this happen?  How long after the surgery can I wear eye makeup, particulalrly mascara?

Answer:

It is virtually impossible for your eyelashes to be injured from blepharoplasty as long as you go to a surgeon who is well trained and experienced.  You typically can wear mascara after 2 weeks.
