Camouflage Cosmetics Information

The nature of some cosmetic surgeries is that certain procedures have a negative impact on surrounding tissues, particularly on the delicate skin around the face. Swelling, bruising, scars, and stitches can frustrate a patient who sought cosmetic surgery to enhance their appearance, not diminish it.

Fortunately, there are what doctors call “camouflage cosmetics” specifically designed to mask the telltale signs of cosmetic surgery. This type of makeup gives people the confidence to return to work or social activities without embarrassment.

Camouflage cosmetics are usually recommended by the surgeon, but are also available in many department stores. In choosing cosmetics, it is critically important to select those that are hypoallergenic and fragrance-free, for you want you use as few chemicals on your wounds as possible.

Camouflage most often falls into three categories: concealing, color correcting, and contouring. By following the directions of your surgeon, you can easily correct the signs of your surgery, and show the world your newly enhanced features without the embarrassment of swelling or discoloration.
