Sun protection is an important part of the healing process after facial plastic surgery and laser treatments.
The amount of time you should avoid direct sun exposure depends on the procedure performed and your individual recovery process. After many treatments, including laser resurfacing and facial plastic surgery procedures, the skin may be more sensitive while healing and more prone to irritation from sun exposure.
Following your surgeonโs postoperative instructions, wearing sunscreen as directed, and protecting your skin from direct sunlight can help support proper healing and maintain your results.
