Title: Beach ready?
Post by: Atomic6 on May 12, 2009, 10:34:22 AM
Hey when's the earliest you guys felt like you could hit up the beach after the surgery? Did you load up you scars with sunscreen?



ps - Merle can you leave this one here? I want to get some good replies, thanks

Im a little over 5 weeks post op.. if I really wanted to hit the beach right now, I think I could as long as I loaded up the scarred areas with 30+ SPF and didn't stay out in the sun too long, I'd be fine. I'm definitely physically able and I don't think my chest looks noticeable as if I'd even had surgery at this point to anyone except for me.

Just got surgery done and thankfully I planned my surgery so that I have 8 weeks before I go on vacation to Aruba.  It seems like around 4-5 weeks one can go and it look pretty good, but everyone heals at different rates

Went to the pool around 4 weeks post op.  No one can tell anything every happened to my chest (in terms of surgery).  Of course though I loaded on the sunscreen like it was my job
