You probably wouldn't want to tan for the first month or so. I was told not to swim for the first three weeks so I'm guessing maybe that'd be the same for tanning since it's indirect contact with the incisions.

I was told to not tan for the first 8 weeks , slows up healing process .

Thanks was just curious Bc I have to give my tanning bed a month in advance to cancel

I'm glad that you asked this question, I tan also just to keep an even skin color.
