Sun exposure after gynecomastia surgery?

summertime2014
I had Gynecomastia surgery on March 20th and I will be going to Las Vegas on May 28th (2 months 8 days) I would like to go in the sun/swim (not over do it & not try to get a tan) so I wanted to ask your opinions on if you think this is ok? I dont mind covering up the incisions with a surgical tape or zinc but what about the general chest area where I had lipo suction? I know it's still healing so I dont want to negatively effect the healing process. Appreciate your answers in advance!
