HEYYYY Mee tooo ! My op is Monday and I’m hating being pale :'(!! so i think its meant to be 2-6 weeks. defiantly 6 for sun beds. but fake tan I’m going to start applying straight after on my face arms and legs etc… just don’t touch anywhere near your incisions .. obviously I’m not the nurse so id ask her first too. but it can’t do not harm if its not applied on the area. hope this helps 🙂 good luck xxxx
