Severe sunburn and Lipo. Any suggestions? (photos)

ms.b.
I had 600cc removed from my abdomen 4 wks ago, and recovery has been great-- after 2 wks was instructed to wear cg for heavy activity only. A week ago I was in a bikini, didn't apply enough sunscreen and got dark patchy sunburns on my stomach and back which blistered 2 days later. The blisters never popped and went away, but I still have red patches. I have been using aloe and ibuprofen as directed by a pharmacist and they are fading (my back has started peeling). Will the burn affect my final result?
