Vacation booked 2 weeks after breast augmentation surgery, is there any precautions I should take?

adrienne_p
I am going to Phoenix 2 weeks after my breast augmentation, and I want to know whether there are special precautions I should be taking. That means on the plane, as well as pool side! Am I able to wear a bikini, and tan? Is sunscreen safe or should I be keeping away from my incisions entirely? And is pool water safe!? Help!!
