- Direct Sun Exposure: Exposure to direct sunlight can exacerbate swelling, bruising, and scarring in the treated area. It is essential to protect the neck area from prolonged sun exposure by wearing protective clothing, hats, and sunscreen with a high SPF.
- Skipping Follow-Up Appointments: Regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Sof are crucial for monitoring your progress, assessing healing, and addressing any concerns or complications promptly. Skipping follow-up appointments may delay the detection and treatment of potential issues.
- Ignoring Post-Operative Instructions: Follow all post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Sof diligently.
