Do not apply any makeup directly to the incision. Make sure makeup brushes and sponges have been washed and cleaned prior to each makeup application.

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

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 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.

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.
