Is it true your not allowed to wear make up when having your op? :-/

Also no Arylic nails?! X

No make up, fake tan, false eyelashes, I had my acrylic nails removed for surgery, no nail polish on toes etc etc

Aww no!! Why no make up tho not even foundation? Xx

Its a huge infection risk hun xx

Not even moisturiser!!! x

U won’t feel like wearin ur make up etc anyway cos ule jus b so groggy!! The worse bit 4 me was no moisteriser!! X

Think how I felt – I fancied my surgeon and he was gonna c me with no make up, hair in a surgeons hat, paper knickers, stupid gown and surgical stockings……….. and he gets to fondle me boobs whilst i am asleep lol xxx

2cuks – thats really funny! was your surgeon mario russo by any chance?!! cant wait for that encounter!

Hun don’t worry, if you feel very self concious without makeup just wear it to the hospital and take makeup wipes with you. You can remove it just before you go down to have your op and put it back on before you leave the hospital later that day or the next day. Honestly no one will even take any notice that your not wearing makeup anyway try not to worry .xxx

I put a little conceler on

But it was so little that ya couldnt tell. Just made me feel better x

Nope nothing at all. I never leave the house with something on, but that day i had to xxx

And no deodorant which I thought was urgh really lol x x

I’ve got a reminder on my phone that when I get out of the shower tomorrow I am to just put my clothes on urgh! no deodorant, make-up, nail polish, moisturiser, jewellery!! I’m planning to moisturise everywhere tonight, and will have a shower in the morning so I assume that’s ok?? x

Natalie214 it was Mr Traynor….. lush irish man lol x

I didn’t take any of my makeup off they asked if I had false nails or nail varnish I said no that was it !! Had mascara on the lot,lol xx

omg girls i really looki rough with no make up onn im rank haha. wa about a little foundation lol omg itdedition1987 did u really? And they didn say anythin to u?? xx

im sure i had a little foundation and blusher on no one told me not to put it on, it was probably not noticable enough. if they had told me not to wear it though i wouldnt have, i didnt know you couldnt!! xxx

At the end of the day if you put un-obvious make up etc on and they ask you if u have any and u say no then thats that! But u gota remember it really is a big infection risk.. if the make up gets anywhere near your incisions it could cause a bad infection.. i know its unlikely just depends whether its worth the risk to you!!

I dont leave the house without make up! But in there i wasnt bothered at all, i priobs looked like death!haha x

Completely agree with tonesx… It is an infection risk which is why they say no make up no nails no tan no deoderant and no moisturiser. Is it really worth taking a risk like that just to keep a bit of make up on for a 45min op that your asleep for anyways? I’m a nurse auxilliary and am told am not even allowed to wear makeup to work! Thats on a ward not an operating theatre. Think about it girls xx
