Hi honey, I’m an avid sunbed user too!
My nurse told me that I am OK to use sunbeds after my 6 week post op check up (assuming everything is healing well) BUT she advised me to cover my scars for a year if I can, but DEFINITELY for six months, as Kelly has said, the scars will be affected by the UV and won’t fade as well.
I also stopped using them two weeks before my op, and honestly it is definitely worth it to stop them as long as you can before surgery. Although you can’t see it to the naked eye, and even though your skin is used to the sunbeds, it DOES inevitably damage and dry out the delicate skin covering your chest wall, so when your implants are inserted and the skin is stretched, there is a higher chance of stretch marks and discolouration.
My advice would be no sunbeds for at least two weeks before op, and for six weeks after op. Thereafter cover your scars. I know it’s sooo long to go without one – but I promise it is so so worth it to protect the appearance of your body and your new boobs.
Good luck <3 xxx
