When can I go in the sun after Brazilian Butt Lift?

Question

Just had a bbl with lipo on my arms, midsection, back and inner thighs. I am 5 days post op. It's summertime. When will I be able to go in the sun? I have pretty bad bruising on my arms. barely any swelling, and bruising everywhere else is not so bad.

Gustavo Almanzar, MD · Answer

Hello.. I usually advise my patients to avoid the sun for a period of 3 moths by this time all the bruises from the liposuction have disappear .But if for some reason by the end of this 3 months you still have some bruises or sings of the procedures my best advise is to wait until they are all gone to avoid some permanent sun marks  ore specifically it can darken the small fat grafting and liposuction incisions. Good luck and always wear sunscreen!!!

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Exposing new healing incisions to the beach or pool, can lead to an infection.​ Also, it is not advisable to expose new scars to sunlight, because this can cause permanent discoloration. 
Please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)
