Summer is coming and I will hopefully have my surgery done before summer is in its full swing and I was wondering how long after surgery can I go swimming at the beach and in a pool? How long does it take for the scars to be faded to the point where they are hard to notice (not completely gone) just not easy to see from a distance?

swimming should be within a few weeks but check with your doctor.

However, sunscreen is a must.  scar tissue turns a different color when exposed to sun until it "cures" for lack of a better word
