Is tanning safe after a breast reduction?

I know you're going to assume I mean scarring which I know UV Rays will make more prominent but I'm talking if I cover them with one of my front close bras while in the sun or tanning bed will this be harmful in any way? I will obviously shower after to diminish any risk of infection from bacteria
