Going into the sun...4weeks after op

[Wheaty]

Any complications to this?

Thinking of going on holiday 4weeks after my op.

I have been instructed not to expose the scars to the sun for 6 months, because the scars can get darker and I'm going to follow that instruction. So I think 4 weeks is a bit too soon, but it's your body and your nipples and your scars.

im going to be going in the sun 3 weeks post op, my scars are barely noticable after 12 days, however im just going to make sure to wear plenty of sunscreen and not stay in the sun too long

i guess thats the way things are
you just gotta go with it and hope for the better.

make sure u wear tons of sunblock and wear a shirt when ur just chilling in the sun
im in the same boat as you mate

why playing with ur scars dude...dont u want them to fade off as early as poss...no doc or no senior member advises that u go into the sun for atleast 6 months.....

It's Arizona... it is the freaking desert in the middle of summer and it's sunny every single day, you get a tan walking to your car. I will just have to load up the sunblock and avoid it as much as I can...
