I'm planning to have a face & eye lift in the next month or so but am receiving conflicting advice about being in the sun. Two surgeons I've consulted have said it's fine to sunbathe but one has said to stay out of the sun. What does the community have to say?

Answer: Facelift Thank you for your question about facelift.It is best to keep your incisions out the sun and protected for one year after the procedure.To be sure, see two or more experienced, board-certified Plastic Surgeons for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery.I hope this helps.

Answer: Sun exposure will have no short-term effect on a facelift. Staying out of the sun is a long-term strategy to maintain as much use in the skin as possible. Perioperative sun exposure will have no effect on the operation.
