Sun beds ?

Can you use sun beds after having a ba? I don't mean straight after, of course I would not but I mean ever again, it's not one of those things is it that you can't ever do again?

Sounds like a really stupid question eeek!

Yes I know sun beds are bad for you, I don't use them often but like to pre tan for holidays etc... :) x

I think you can, but no sun on your boobs for 6m and NONE on your scars for a year. I'd try and stay away, but if you can't, cover up. Not just sunblock, you can't have anything hitting them for a year. They will burn and can cause pigmentation.

Thanks! Am hoping to get ba done early april, going to Italy in aug I have a swimming costume and can fake the pre tan :) x

Yes you can, babe, but as Charlii says definitely don't expose the skin on your new boobs for at least 6 months because it will be stretched and consequently thinner and more vulnerable under the rays. Also, make sure you definitely fully cover your incisions because i can't think of anything more painful than burning fresh scars.. Ouchhh :(

Maybe you could sunbed the rest of your body and just use gradual tan moisturiser on your chest? Such as Dove?
Take care, lovely x x x

Yeah I agree with Tiger.... That's a supper good idea about tanning the rest of your body and then using a moisturising tan! Xx
