Sun Exposure and Tanning After Tummy Tuck

After a tummy tuck, I request that my patients not expose their abdomen to the sun or go to a tanning booth for six weeks after surgery. Frequently patients will have areas of decreased sensation increasing the possibility of bad sunburn. Patients may go swimming as early as two weeks after surgery if wound healing is good and the abdomen is not exposed. However long periods of sun exposure in a bathing suit in the immediate post operative period is to be avoided.
