Mystic spray tanning or uv tanning? I constantly see after photos nicely tanned so curious.
Answer: Tanning after surgery Please ask your surgeon as you have given no additional information about how long ago your surgery was and any details. Staying out of the sun or tanning beds is the best advice. Minimal exposure to sunlight is prevents hyperpigmentation (permanently turning brown) and other problems that can make the scar more noticeable. Sunscreen, at least 30 SPF and an overlying make camouflage make up additionally protects the scar from the suns harmful rays. This advice is especially important the first year following your surgery.

Answer: After a Mommy Makeover (tummy tuck, BL and BA) when would you be cleared to tan? Thank you for your question. Because of the health concerns of UV radiation best to have spray tans instead which can start 6-8 weeks after surgery assuming no wound healing issues. Hope that this helps.

Answer: After a Mommy Makeover, when are you cleared to tan? I would allow my patients to get a spray tan after 3-4 weeks from their surgery. This is provided all incisions are well healed. Due to the harmful effects of the ultraviolet radiation on your skin, no plastic surgeon should recommend uv tanning, whether in the sun or a tanning booth.

Answer: Tanning after surgery? I never recommend UV tanning as it increases your chance of skin cancer. Spray tanning should be okay after several weeks once all the incisions heal. I would make sure that all of your scars are hidden from the sun or you wear sun block to prevent any pigmentation of them .
