Sunbed

Hi girls, when’s the soonest anyone’s been on the sunbed after surgery?

I was told 6 weeks babe, think it can make your scars go pink so not worth it Xx

Some girls go straight on it after a week just cover scars with dressings. My surgeon said a year and that if scar went discoloured I would only have myself to blame x

Definitely not worth the risk then. I think I’d rather wait. Thankyou girls xxx

How are yours now Hun? X xx

I went for my 1 week post op and asked about sunbed. They said 6 weeks! x

Yeah it;s not worth it, this is my second BA and the first time I went on holiday shortly after and wasn’t good at covering my scars. My right went completely white but my left was always a bit pink xx

I went on 3 weeks post op but covered my boobs and scars completely! i checked with everyone and most people say wait 6 weeks but my scars are fine and haven’t gone funny xx

I’m 10 weeks now and I’ve been going on since about 6 weeks I’ve just always worn a bra when I go on so it covers my scars and my boobs but mine are healing really well no problems and fading too so you can’t really see them :), xx

Thankyou girls I’ll go on at 6weeks just another 4 too wait xxx

also don’t forget you MUST cover your scars! i brought that special tape stuff that i cover on my scars so i can tan the boobs! they looked so weird being pale against the tanned body hehe! xxx

What tape is it chick? Xxx

What tape can you buy? I’m having to hold a rolled up towel over the scars whilst on sun beds!

It’s surgical tape, you know the stuff you put on to bandages?! It’s completely harmless and easily peels straight off it’s about 50p from boots savers etc! I can’t remember the proper name lol but when I go tomorrow I’ll let you know haha xx

It’s micropore tape white in colour very similar to masking tape. X x xx

Haha exactly what any said! Hehe xx

I’ve been going on them since 2weeks post op but nurse told me cover boobs and scar Xx

Omg I forgot to say, be careful if you haven’t had a sunbed in a while too! Your boobies may burn a tad aha! Also I have little white tape lines ahaha

I’m 4 weeks post op Thursday so only another two weeks to go haha I feel so pale it’s awful! Xx
