Eye stent , makeup problem?!
Question: Eye stent , makeup problem!?
Ok so a week ago i had a DCR (Dacryocystorhinostomy) procedure, and i went to get it checked up and my doctor said that it looked good, and that I'll have to keep the stent they put in for two months!. now i have a problem about that because i wear eyeliner every day and i am now willing to give it up!. I'm not sure if for those two months I'm not allowed to wear any or if the stents are just there to keep the tear ducts open!. (its just a little clear tube that runs through one duct into the other, keeping it open!.i really need eyeliner i look awful without it!. so, do you think i can wear it or maybe there is some other makeup that i can use!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
My daughter had that surgery!. Twice!. I would caution you concerning the placement and removal of the makeup!. I would be extremely careful!. If you must put on the liner, perhaps you can from going all the way to the duct!. I would use a pencil liner!. Also, mascara can be difficult to remove!. I would get something that dissolves easily with water!. Remember: the more you have to rub to get makeup off the more you aggravate the duct!. Good luck! If my daughter has to have another tube put in it will be permanent this time!. So we are VERY careful about her eyes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
wow!. Is wearing make-up really more important to you than your eye health!? I used to wear make-up everyday, too!. And then one day I didn't!. And you know what happened!? Nothing!. My family still loved me, my friends still hung out with me, and I still felt good about myself!. It's fine if you think you look better with eye liner on; I think I look better with mascara on, but it doesn't mean I'm going to wear it if it's going to mess up some medical procedure I just had and compromise my health!. Instead of eye liner, show off some self-confidence!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You might need to call the doctor to ask, but I wouldn't risk it!. I'm sure you look fine without eyeliner!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
