Hey
My op is on march and I'm going away in July, just wondering how tanning would be? Is it safe? How long did you wait till you could tan either on holiday or sunbed etc? Thanks xx

At four months post-op your skin on your boobs will still be very tight and very sensitive to sunlight and will probably burn very easily, so it would be best to keep your boobs entirely covered while your sunbathing babe.

Your scars will need to be covered in sunlight or if you go on the sunbed for a year post-op. this is because your new scars are at risk of pigmentation. (Going brown) so to avoid that, they have to be fully protected sweetness. Other than keeping your boobs covered though you're fine to sunbathe hun. Xx

No, they'll be too sensitive at 4 months post op and the skin is likely to burn. Best to cover them completely. At least you'll have a nice shape in tops x

You can use the sunbed, but I wouldn't risk getting burned at all. The last thing you'd want to have to deal with is sunburn as well as a BA.

Fake tan? No... Your skin needs to be clear of all products to give you the least chance of infection post-op. xx

Hey girls,

Fake tan generally takes 2-3weeks to be fully gone from the skin and even wash-off tan should be given a full 7 days! you can check for tan using surgical spirits on a cotton pad, or even toner on a cotton pad.

when It comes to pigmentation your looking at about 4-6months until the skin will be ok in the sun,to help prevent it wear a sunscreen with full UVA protection, not just high factor, UVA protection is measured in either stars or as Pa+++ which is the highest. Sunbeds can also cause pigmentation on the skin so I would treat these with the same rules, suncream won't protect you on a sunbed so your best to avoid them for the 4-6months.

hope this helps xx

Nope! No products on you anywhere! You've got to be as naked as the day you were born. Except for the paper knickers they give you, the gown and the sexy surgical stockings hahaha

Not only do you not want any trace of fake tan on for surgery you won't be able to shower for at least a week if not 2 after either so you don't want any patchy traces of it! X
