WHY?: I'm not sure what "skin surgery" you are asking about. People have various skin tones, and some people do tan easier than others. However, sun damage to skin is well documented. I recommend you use an spf product 15-30 and avoid extended exposure to sun. Any specific questions should be directed to a dermatologist. Good luck.
