Most of the post-op instructions that I have seen on various clinic web sites say a minimum of one week, but at least one clinic in AZ says no eye makeup for 6 weeks. It sounds like 1 week is the minimum. The instructions from my surgeon say not to rub or press on your eyelids for 4 weeks, so this might affect makeup removal. I'm a guy, so I cleared the last statement with my wife. I suspect the AZ clinic is thinking of the removal.
