I'm about 12 days PO & I was wondering if it would make a difference in my healing process if I start using a tanning bed. Is it okay to use a tanning bed so soon after my breast augmentation?

Answer: Tanning bed after BA The best answer can be obtained from the PS who performed your BA 12 days ago. After your scars are healed, spray tanning should be OK. UV exposure after breast implant surgery is a problem with regard to possible scar pigmentation changes. No tanning for 1 year would be advised.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Tanning bed usage after breast augmentation? Thank you for your question. I do not recommend tanning this early in healing as you have minimized sensation. Please speak to your plastic surgeon before you do.
