Should I stop using the sunbeds before my BA?

Wendy22Jan 5, 2014
I know that I should avoid the sunbeds after my BA, but will it affect the appearance of my scars if I am not my natural colour before surgery? I had a tattoo lazered off a couple of years ago and they told me I couldn't have a tan when I was having the laser removal because of scarring so was just wondering if it would be the same?

The puffiness can take many months to a year if it's just due to swelling/duct block.  If it's due to a permanent suture, then the suture may need to come out.  You need to see your PS.

Thank you for the photographs.  It is unlikely that the position of your implant will change after 6 months.  It appears that the left breast is fuller.  There may several reasons for this. It is best to revisit with your PS concerning this matter.Dr. ES
