What should I cover my breast augmentation scars with when tanning? Going on holiday next week and worried!

Asked By:lulu17 in England, AR

Hi, I'm 5 weeks post op from my breast enlargement and will be 6 weeks next Monday when I leave for my holiday in Spain. I want to sun bathe but I'm scared that the incisions will get darker and I really don't want them to. I'm obviously going to be covering them with a bikini anyway but I want t be extra safe, would a steri strip be enough or is there anything else I can buy that's better to cover them? Can someone please give me some advise?
