After an armlift, it is important to protect your arms from direct sunlight or UV radiation for a minimum of six to twelve months. Exposing the surgical area to sunlight can lead to hyperpigmentation or worsen the appearance of scars. Wear protective clothing, use sunscreen with a high SPF, and follow your surgeon’s recommendations to ensure optimal healing and minimize the risk of complications.
