Is it okay to have a spray tan in the days before a BA?

Thanks for your inquiry, I would call your surgeon, but I would not recommend it for my patient.  Good Luck with surgery.  

Dear Ms. Edie940,Thank you for your information and questions.Proably won't make a significant difference. However I would recommend not to:1) bacteria may be in the spray tan2) antiseptic wash may remove the chemical tan and result in a uneven body tan3) not sure what tanning chemicals are used and potentially alter wound healing/scar formatuoon.I recommend that you check with your chosen Plastic Surgeon who I trust is experienced and Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. In addition ideally they he/she is a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).I wish you my best and success,R.

Thank you for your question. I see know reason why you could not have a spray tan, but would probably be a better option to wait until after you are healed.Check with your surgeon on his/her recommendations on this. Best of luck.
