Generally its best to go commando with everything. They need to see that your circulation is good and not

Lol! I had my c-section at the same hospital and showed up in FULL makeup. No one cared. But babies are a little different than surgery.

I did wear foundation and blush. It made me feel more alert and more presentable. Nobody at the hospital ever said anything either way. When I woke up.... I don't know how I looked but I sure felt pretty rough.

I had my full face on eyebrows and all for my scheduled c-section.

seriously though... makeup and nail polish... old school rules. That was before the days of O2 monitors and advanced technology. When they had to rely on the color of your nail beds and skin for assessing circulation. The one thing I would highly suggest you do not wear is lotion. You will have a lot of monitors hooked up to you and you don't want to be greasy for obvious reasons. If you feel better wearing makeup have at it! I got a fresh pedicure before surgery too.

I was specifically told to be completely clean. No makeup, lotion, hair products, or deodorant. I believe things should be as sterile as possible when you are have surgery, laparoscopic or not. And seriously, you are NOT gonna care what you look like when you wake up. Why take the risk?

Thanks for the advice! And mani and pedi is a must for me unless my surgeon tells me know, this being the fact that I'm a licensed Manicurist lol
