    I’m 8 days PO and met with the nurse yesterday, I asked her if I could go for a spray tan and she said it was fine as I still have dressings on and could even use something additional to cover the area too, but I just wanted to see if anybody else has done this just a week after surgery, would you recommend?

    I used to have a spray tan every week before surgery. Even though it killed me I didn’t have one until 8 weeks post op. Just to be on the safe side. As the skin can be very dry and fake tan would irritate it even more. And didn’t want to risk it running in the incisions afterwards. I’d wait! x

    I’d probably wait till around the 6 weeks mark just incase any did manage to get in the incisions. X
