How to cover incisions tanning?

June 18, 2016
Asked By:kittyhawk00 in Ireland, IE

I have incisions under my areolas from breast implants in Feb 2016. I also have an incision over my belly button from a piercing scar I had removed. What is the best way to cover these in a tanning bed? Are bandaids sufficient? And is it okay to leave my incisions exposed in normal sun for a few hours here and there as long as I use sunscreen? Thanks!
