    Hi girls!! Have my BA next week the 13th May and I’m just wondering what’s the rules on using sunbeds and fake tan? How long before you have to stop using them? The nurse I saw mentioned about not putting fake tan on my chest area but said my arms and legs were fine if I really must. Just not looking forward to being really pale I hate it. Does anyone else have more info on it? X

    I was told 2 weeks before & 2 weeks after no fake tan or sunbeds then at my 1 week check the nurse said I was allowed to tan my arms and legs just stay away from incisions 🙂 xx

    I was told no fake tan for a week pre op and then two weeks post op. I’ve not used any for over a week now and I’ve been a right misery. I hate being pale xx

    Ah right! I just don’t want to turn up with tan on my arms and legs and also wanted to tan my face and the surgeon say he won’t do it because I’ve got tan on. Really not sure what to do about it ? @sharna

    I picked up some soap and glory wash off tan in boots the other day, maybe you could use something like that until your op and then just use nothing on the day as we can’t wear make up or moisturiser the day of surgery. I don’t want to risk not being able to have my op. Xx

    I thought false tan is OK so long as it isn’t on your neck-waist down. I was planning on tanning just my face…can’t stand being bare!haha. I’m having my pre op tomorrow so I’ll ask and see what they say.xx

    I got told no fake tan what so ever especially on your face as they need to see the true colour of your skin, I’m guessing for oxygen levels ect xxx

    & no moisturiser on any part of your body so I doubt they will allow fake tan, one lady did mention on here that she went in with minimal fake tan and individual eyelashes and they told her she would need to remove them before surgery xxx

    I think you have to avoid your face with it hun. It’s so they can see if you’re skin pallor has changes for circulation stuff. I was told i need every bit of fake tan off my body for the op but that i could sun bed up til the day before x

    I scrubbed all mine off the day before, my op was 7 days ago but couldn’t get in with the nurse till Wednesday 🙁 so I’ve been so horrible and pale! I’m planning on tanning on Wednesday night so I can wash it all off on the Thursday morning, cannot WAIT! I was naughty when I had my surgery and wore foundation and mascara they never said anything tho x

    I went on sun beds right up to the day before my op and was back on em 7 days after, just made sure I kept a bra n a top rolled up over my boobs. A girl on here put a tip to roll a towel up n hold it over your boobs so they don’t tan but your back still dose 🙂

    My op is on the 12th and I hate not being able to wear fake tan! Have been exfoliating like mad to get it all off, my nurse said fake tan can get the wound infected which is why they tell you not to wear it.
    I’ve been using Mac body and face foundation which is doing the trick for now.. But I can’t wait until I can safely use tan again 🙂 hope your op goes well Hun! Xx
