Can I wear a bikini 6 weeks after lipo & fat transfer if I cover the scars with bandaids & SPF?

Hi! Yes, you should definitely enjoy the summer. Scars fully heal and mature at about 1 year. I would definitely encourage you to use SPF and bandages over incisions. If not, the scars will heal in a different color then the remaining skin (usually more pink). Massage these scars whenever you think about them. Stimulating collagen is the best thing you can do for them. Hopefully your surgeon placed the incisions in areas you can hide them in your bikini. Hope this helps. Goodluck.

Dear Aiyanaj,
I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

You will want to keep the surgical area protected from the sun while you heal. Reapply sunblock frequently. The healing skin will be more sensitive to sun exposure and incisions that are exposed could result in permanent pigmentation changes.
