I am booked in for surgery on the 4th October for a tummy tuck and breast lift. I've got a wedding party on the 1st October which I would usually get a spray tan for as I am naturally pale but I am wondering if there is any reason I shouldn't doing so such as increased risk of infection or making my surgeons job more difficult due to not being able to tell my actual skin colour etc? Many thanks for your help.
Answer: Spray tan In my practice I'd advise you to avoid the spray tan. The tanning material tends to flake off and could end up inside your incisions during surgery. Theres a potential for issues you could avoid by NOT getting the spray tan. Call your surgeon's office and get their recommendation. Best wishes!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Spray Tanning Before a Mommy Makeover It may be best not to #spray tan. Your skin tone should be as natural to your own as possible to better monitor your status during the #procedure and post-op. However, I recommend you inquire with your board-certified surgeon to confirm for sure per your consultation discussion.

Answer: Spray tanning before surgery In my practice, I ask that my patients do not spray tan at least two weeks prior to surgery and wait 6 weeks after surgery. This is just guidelines as pre and post op instructions vary from patient to patient depending on health history and how quickly their body recovers.

Answer: Personally, I would ask my patient not to do this right before her surgery If you are wearing a dress and wanted to put some color on your exposed arms or legs, this would probably be reasonable before a breast and stomach operation. However I do not think it would be wise to use on the areas to be operated on as the spray tan material can flake and get into the incisions as well as prevent the full effect of pre-operative skin prep solutions, both of which could increase your risk of infection.

Answer: Spray tan before surgery In general it's not a good idea to put those chemicals on the skin that is to be addressed surgically.If you are going to a wedding why not put on a single piece bathing suit and spare the tummy and breasts. That way you can look tanned for the wedding and spare the skin for surgery.Talmage Raine MD FACS
