Answer: Tanning after surgery Hi and thank you for your question.Your incisions need to be healed before going in a sunbed and you must keep the scars covered for a year to avoid hyperpigmentation or darkening of the scars. Best of luck!

Answer: Sunbathing After Surgery: Can I Be Out in the Sun for Long Periods of Time? Sun exposure i.e. ultraviolet light has a negative effect on scar healing and can cause hyper-pigmentation of the healing scar. However this will not be an issue if you have your scar covered, either with your swimsuit or concealed with steristrips. Use of a sunscreen cream is however recommended at all times with sunbathing.

Answer: Tanning post op 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.

Answer: When is a sunbed safe after breast implant surgery? Sunbeds have been proven to cause skin cancer so I would not use a sunbed period. If you don't mind getting skin cancer and are just concerned about how the sunbed will affect the results and scars, I would recommend you use sunscreen on the surgical scars up to a year following surgery until the scars have completely matured and are no longer red, raised or firm. Best wishes.
