Sun protection for scars? (Photo)

onlyonelife
I had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation approximately eight weeks ago. I will soon be traveling, and being in the sun is pretty much unavoidable. If I use Mepitac silicone tape and Bicorneum underneath it, over my scars is that enough sun protection? I want to make sure not to hyper pigment them!
