Hi! i recently got my chalazion removed from my lower lid, 4 days ago and i was wondering how long it would take before i could wear makeup again?

Post op care: Greetings. The best advice is to review with your surgeon. Only he/she can determine how soon to reapply makeup. The degree and extent of surgical excision, is the most important variable. Typically I recommend 1week as a rough estimate. Good Luck

Keep wound clean: Let the skin heal. When the skin of the wound appears near normal and healthy, then you can begin applying make up over it.
