my nurse has told me no sunbed for another 4 weeks but i go on holiday in 6 weeks and was wondering if anyone has been on the sunbeds any earlier if i put plasters on the scars with a bikini top on? feel so pale and i don’t wanna be pale on holiday but obviously don’t want to risk it if it’s not worth it. just wondering if anyone has risked it xxxx
I had it on the 14th june, i didn’t want to go to just yet but maybe at 4 weeks with the scars covered i’d orher people have done it and it’s been okay xx
I’ve heard some people have gone on from 4 / 6 weeks but covering their scars and then I’ve heard others have waited 6 months ( I couldn’t go that long ha )
I’m really nervous about going on!
I had my OP on 6th June and was told 6 weeks should be ok as long as I cover them but I’m really wanting to go on next week before my holiday too
I think I might just risk it and see how I get on my skin is use to going on them and if I cover the scars and dont go on for too long or too often I’m sure il be okay?!
Let me know how you get on!
yeah i think i’m to nervous! i’m seeing the nurse tomorrow so will ask about covering them + suncream although i’m sure she’ll say no to be on the safe side ? worth a try xx
I had a sunbed at 2 weeks post op, just covered up the scars and I was fine, I started getting my scars out for 5 mins each sunbed after then just cause I’m tanned and don’t want white scars!
My friend didn’t cover her scars at all and is fine
yeah she said 6 weeks but if kirsty said she went on after 2 i may chance one at 4 weeks with the scars covered. i have had an areola reduction aswell so have scars around my nipple so will have to see how they’re all heeling xx
