How long after surgery can I start using silicone scar strips? How soon can I go tanning?

Asked By:Nikitabug in Winnipeg, MB

I go for surgery in 22 days (Fluer de lis panniculectomy). How long after surgery can I begin using scar strips? Additionally- I know "tanning is bad" but How long after surgery should I wait before tanning? I find that tanning makes my imperfections (cellulite, scarring, veins etc.) less visible, as well as makes skin look tighter.
