i used the tanning bed about 3 to 4 weeks after my surgery when i was able to get up and around with out hurting! it didnt affect anything i think it just depends on the person whenever you feel up to it!

I will be 3 weeks out Monday and I feel great.

My surgery was at the end of March and my wedding was in June.. my dr said after 3 weeks was fine as long as i covered the the incision sites with a bandaid so the scars wouldnt get darker...
