Post op day 16– can I sun bed if inscisions are covered??

I’m so sick of being so pale and fake tanning is such a struggle atm especially my back, just wondered when I can use sunbeds? Would it be fine if I covered my boobs??

I think it’s ok if you cover your incisions… They apparently turn brown if not x

I’m 3 weeks post op and went on a Sunbed yesterday I kept my sports bra on and a put a top over aswell as the skin on your boobs is thin where it’s been stretched! I’ve got some funny tan lines going on but at least I know I haven’t damaged them!

I was told to fold a small towel and hold it over my boobs.. It might sound a bit silly but my nurse said to me that the skin is so thin sensitive on them due to the stretching that it can me damaged so easily – especially this early on for you!
A top or a sports bra isn’t quite enough protection I was told by my nurse.. Hope this helps! xx
