Can I get a spray tan 8 days post op Breast augmentation? (photos)

Cbe007Apr 27, 2016
I am 8 days post opp with little swelling and hardly any bruising except around the incision. Should i cover the incisions? I get spray tans regularly, but understand why my surgeon would not want my skin discolored at my next appt, but am dying to get one for my birthday. I have surgical glue instead of steristrips if that helps!

I recommend waiting.  In the meantime, I might suggest having your surgeon give you a strap.  These are straps that help massage the implants in the upper po...
