Thank you for your question. No, tanning itself will not in any way impact the implants but it can injure your skin. Chronic exposure to the sun or UV rays causes photo damage to the skin, increases your risk for skin cancer and can make your incisions remain pink if they are exposed to UV light before the incisions are fully healed. As with all things, moderation and SPF is best .
Keep the sun away from scars is your best bet. Scars behave differently in different people and can become too dark permanently (hyperpigmentation or dyschromia) if exposed to the sun. Better to spray tan if you want to hide it. Definitely use a strong SPF (>30) sunscreen on it even though it is hidden by your bathing suit as some sun goes through the fabric.#tanningpostop#scarmanagement
Tanning beds do not affect silicone gel (or saline) implants. But, tanning beds can increase your risk for skin cancer, worsen scars, and negatively impact the quality of your skin.
Thanks for your question. No, UV radiation in tanning beds will not harm your silicone gel implants. It will, however, adversely affect how the scar heals and make she scar stay red much longer. Additionally, the radiation from a tanning bed will definitely age your skin faster and can increase your risk of skin cancers. I would highly advise against use of a tanning bed. Good luck.
Although tanning may “hurt/harm” your skin ( and be the cause of skin cancer) it will not affect breast implants. The ultraviolet rays may also negatively affect incision line healing. Best wishes.
As others have stated the radiation from your tanning bed should not impact your breast implants. However it can certainly impact the scars if you have inframammary crease incisions. UV radiation can cause your inframammary crease scars to become hypertrophic, red, raised and itchy.
Hello! Thank you for your question! Breast procedures such as the breast augmentation and breast lift/reduction certainly result in a more shapely, perky, and fuller appearance of your breasts. With any breast procedure there is a risk, albeit very small, of change in sensation to...
Of course a full consult is needed to achieve one's optimal results, but if you want an enlarged breast that has a natural shape, soft feeling, and with the lowest evidence of deflation and contracture, it would be specifically a Sientra shaped round base highly cohesive gel implant or gummy...
Thank you for your pictures. These "dents" possibly represent the old breast crease prior to your augmentation. Scar revision will do little to help this. Time may soften this area so that this is less noticeable. Implant replacement is the best option. Earl Stephenson Jr MD DDS...
Hi, Holly. I wouldn't worry too much about that, probably strained a muscle when you were coughing, and it should slowly resolve. Likely, it will just get better with time, and there is not much to do to help it along. Here are a few things that would warrant eval by a plastic...
