I was told no makeup or lotions of any kind. They should give you pre-surgery instructions a few days before.

Sorry but there are some times in your life that you just have to accept you wont look your best - two that come to mind being at the gym (if your workout is going to be worthwhile at all!) and after surgery!. No, you cannot wear makeup in surgery.

That's not to say you cant have a spray tan beforehand! I've spent a lot of time post surgery in hospital in the past two years and I've always been very motivated to get up and shower and do my hair BEFORE the surgeon makes his 8.30 am rounds! Even despite major abdominal surgery and my tummy tuck! Nobody sees me messed up and braless and lying in a rumpled bed, lol. But full makeup in hospital is going to look pretty weird.

That's correct, no makeup. They need to be able to detect changes in skin tone to make sure that you are getting enough oxygen. You can put your makeup on once you are recovered and feel up to it.

Why not make the most of it - if you look like death you will probably get more sympathy than if you look fab.

No makeup. And when you are very close to goal you will post that early morning I am on the way to the hospital picture on your avatar like I did.
