After having a breast reduction, can I sit in the sun as long as my breasts are covered?

Question

Same question as above, only can you go in tanning beds as long as your breasts are covered, and how long must it be before your breasts can be exposed to the son?

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

As long as the incisions are completely covered there is probably no contraindication to sitting in the sun. Any plastic surgeon would advise you against too much sun exposure for general skin health.

Jose M. Soler-Baillo, MD, MS · Answer

Thank you for your question.  As long as your scars are covered, some sunlight exposure would be fine.  I would advise you not be exposed to harmful rays for any prolonged period of time.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
