Sunbed after c section?

Have any ladies on here been on a sunbed only 3 weeks post section? I don’t want to sound shallow but I’ve felt so rubbish in myself and body & know it would make me feel so much better. My scars healing really well & I would of course go on with knickers covering the scar.

I mean, I don’t see why not except maybe getting in and out of the high flat bed. Maybe a stand up?

I would be careful. Scars can be much more sensitive to the sun and it could leave them looking ugly. Sunscreen will work in the future but I wouldn't put it on at 3 weeks pp. Maybe if you can cover the area? Wait, I didn't read the whole thing. I would think that would be fine

I’ve not asked the specific question on c sections, but when I had my boobs done, the surgeon told me very clearly to keep my scars out of the sun for at least a year, as it will affect their appearance as they heal and they’ll be more prominent. I still went on sun beds etc, I just covered the scars specifically. Sounds like your plan!
