Sun exposure after plastic surgery

Sun exposure after plastic surgery can affect the results achieved in negative
ways. Furthermore, it can lead to many side effects, health, and aesthetic complications. It is for
these reasons that plastic surgeons always warn their patients against sun exposure of the
operated area after the intervention.

First off, sun exposure has the tendency to trigger unsightly scarring. After plastic surgery,
patients must be sure to avoid direct exposure to the sun or any other forms of direct heat for at
least 4 to 6 months. The first two months following the surgery are particularly crucial to the
achievement of your plastic surgery goals, so it is critical to cover your body when you go out in
the sun during this time.

When the surgical wound is exposed to the sun (especially during the first four months after the
surgery) the scar tissue will become dark and hyperpigmentation would be triggered. Combined,
both of these factors can introduce unwelcoming aesthetic features to your body. On the other
hand, when you avoid sun exposure, not only would you heal quickly but the quality of the
achieved aesthetic goals would also be better. You will get less visible scarring and the swelling
will subside quickly.
