“When can I take a sunbath after neck plastic surgery?”

Thank you for your inquiry! Sun after any type of cosmetic surgery is not recommended. We are trying to prevent harmful cosmetic rays from damage and loss of collagen. Just be vigilant about protecting yourself..

The question of a sunbath after surgery is a great one. In my opinion, the skin of the neck should be carefully protected after surgery, and the sun contributes about 80% to our aging process. One should wear sunblock SPF30 when outside, especially during the hours of 10am-4pm. I usually recommend patients avoid being outside extensively for 6 wks after surgery to protect the surgical incisions from becoming darker.
