I suggest speaking to your surgeon as each physician has their own requests for patients. It also depends on what was done for your surgical closure. Best, Dr. Emer.
Thank you for your questions. Every surgeon varies according to their particular preferences for postoperative care following surgery. In my practice, I generally tell patients to keep their bandages off after the sutures are removed. I do not allow makeup or sunscreen until I am sure that the wounds have healed. Please contact your physician's office for their specific instructions. Best wishes.
Your surgeon should give you specifics on band-aids, make-up, and sunscreen after surgery. Follow-up directly with him/her if you have questions.
