To begin with, let’s go over what the downsides are for sun exposure following plastic surgery.

How to Avoid the Sun

Dr. Pirani has several suggestions on how you can avoid the sun if you have had plastic surgery.

What To Do If You Are Exposed?

In the event that you are exposed to the sun during recovery and have not taken the listed precautions, the first thing that you should do is hydrate. Putting the extra waters into your body will not only help with the healing areas, but it should help the overall health of the surgical site. Otherwise, try not to get yourself exposed again.

Your skin is your first line of defence against the harmful rays of the sun. If your skin has been affected from a surgical procedure, then it is naturally more prone to damage than it would be been otherwise. If you are sunburnt or notice any adverse effects, call our office immediately.
