Frequent questions
After oculoplastic surgery, when can I put on makeup again?
It depends on the intervention, but the normal thing, for example, if it is after eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), is after 15 days.
Should I avoid the sun after an oculoplasty procedure?
Yes, we recommend not exposing yourself to UVA rays from the sun as the scar that can remain after eye plastic surgery can cause it to darken. We recommend sunbathing for a month after surgery, as well as putting on a lot of sun protection. The only exception is transconjunctival blepharoplasty because, once the hematomas have been reabsorbed, there are no visible scars.
Can I go back to the gym soon?
After eye plastic surgery, we recommend waiting a week to 15 days to return to your usual sports activities.
If I have dry eye, can I undergo oculoplastic surgery?
It is not contraindicated, especially if it is a mild or moderate degree. However, in the case of ptosis, for example, a more conservative surgery may be required. There is also no contraindication for patients operated on for cataracts, retina, glaucoma, myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.
Will I be able to shower after ptosis surgery?
Yes, the next day unless the specialist tells you otherwise.
