I have a dermabrasion surgical procedure and liposuction set in December 2016. How long should I abstain from the sun ? How long after the procedures do I need to stay away from the sun ?

Answer: Dermabrasion and avoiding the sun Dermabrasion is a form of skin resurfacing in which the top layers are mechanically removed.The raw surface underneath needs meticulous care for at least 2 weeks after the procedure. It needs to be kept covered and hydrated. After 2 weeks sun protection needs to be worn and reapplied. The fresh skin is sensitive to the sun for 6-12 months. I recommend discussing with your surgeon strategies and tips to keep you on track for safe and happy outcome. Safety comes first.
