Do not swim, use hot tubs, or saunas for 4 weeks.

Do not expose your incisions to excessive pressure or motion.

Do not make excessive facial movements such as wide mouth laughing and excessive chewing for at least two weeks. This will optimize the healing process.

Do not wear makeup. Between days 10 and 14, most patients can return to makeup, avoiding the incision areas. Do make sure to thoroughly clean makeup brushes and sponges thoroughly before using them.

Do not scrub your scalp. Instead, wash your hair strands using your fingertips, do this carefully and gently. Do not cause motion and movement on the scalp, ears, and incision sites. If ointment accumulates in your hair, it can be easily removed using Dawn dishwashing liquid, but not until wounds are mostly healed, about day 8 or 10.

Do not wash your hair until day 3 after surgery. On day 3, use baby shampoo. Do not let water directly hit the wounds or incision sites. Instead, let the water run down and across wounds.

Do not perform strenuous physical activity, including athletic activities, intercourse, aerobic exercise, weight training, heavy lifting, and any straining. You may gradually resume exercise 4 weeks after surgery; light walking is okay and recommended. Listen to your body; if it hurts the treated area- Stop.

Avoid sun exposure and sunbeds for 4 weeks.

Absolutely no smoking. Any smoking delays healing, increases infections, and results in worse scarring.

Do not touch, scratch, or pick while your skin is healing. This can delay healing and increase scarring.
