Camouflage Cosmetics

Concealing the Temporary Signs of Surgery

Dr. Revis wants to minimize the time you spend away from social activities following your cosmetic procedure. Therefore, he advocates the use of camouflage cosmetics, which are hypoallergenic and fragrance free to avoid irritating your skin. Camouflage cosmetics are specially formulated to be skin friendly and will disguise any bruising or other discoloration that may occur in the immediate post-operative period.

Most patients are able to apply these products within a few days to one week following surgery. Dr. Revis has each of his facial cosmetic surgery patients discuss their current makeup techniques with an aesthetician trained in the application of camouflage cosmetics. The aesthetician will help you select the proper formulation of products and colors based on your preferences and current makeup techniques. After surgery, a repeat visit with the aesthetician will assist you in implementing this program.

Camouflage cosmetics accomplish three main objectives, they conceal, color, and contour. Concealers are primarily used to hide scars and bruising. Colors are used to correct or neutralize any discoloration from bruising that might occur following surgery. Contouring can be used to camouflage swelling while it subsides and to lend more definition to your facial features.

In addition to enhancing the results achieved through surgery and restoring your active social life, camouflage cosmetics are also recommended for everyday use. Many of Dr. Revis' patients elect to continue their use of these special cosmetics once they have tried them following surgery.

Dr. Revis recommends Jane Iredale for camouflage cosmetic purposes.
