sun beds?

I have seen some posts about sun beds but i have never heard that we needed to wait a year? I’m going on holiday in 8 weeks and i wanted to start the sun beds so I’m not too white going away.
Is this wrong?

How far post op are you Gemma? I’ve been wondering about this too xx

I’m sure I read after the 6 weeks aslong as its okay and scars are covered up it’s fine, also an spf on your boobs as the skin is stretched so it’s thinner ️xx not 100% sure tho but sure I’ve read it on this forum before x

im 5 week on thursday, i have seen people say a year :/ x

I got told a year. Even if I leave my sports bra on??!
I go Greece in 4 weeks so wanted a sunbed too x

I’m 5 weeks this Wednesday. I’m sure I’ve read a year too xx

Hi ladies I was told I could use sunbeds at my 6 week check, nurse just said to cover incisions x x x

I’ve been using them since 2 weeks post op and I’m fine! I couldn’t cope a year off them as pathetic as that sounds haha I just cover my scars with big sterile plasters like they put on after your op. I’ve noticed no change what so ever in them and they feel fine when I’m on them I was worried it would overheat or something crazy haha! Xx

I was told at my 6 week check up as long as i used spf on incisions sunbeds are fine. No false tan on incisions for a year though x

Is it just sunbeds you cant use or sun exposure in general? I don’t use sunbeds but am moving to spain so going to be sunbathing a lot!! xx

You’re fine with sun exposure just the cleavage line may be more sensetive to the sun with the skin being stretched Hun so just make sure you use a higher spf on your chest @xxzoe85xx xx

Ahh ok thanks hunni xx

My hospital told me 12 weeks! This makes sense to me, it’s just the Incisions that are the problem as the skin is fresh/weak. If you cover these up I would imagine you can go on sooner though x

Thanks everyone for your help 😀 ! everyone seems to have split decisions i guess if i cover them they should be ok!! xxxx

I started using them at 8 wks post opp as long as i cover my incisions which plaster has sorted that one out, i havent used any protection and i am fine…however we are all different…ive been told at my 6wks check up it was ok to use them x
