Sun exposure at 5 weeks following a rhinoplasty unlikely to have caused any damage
At 5 weeks following a rhinoplasty it is unlikely that you have sustained any permanent damage particularly if there was no sunburn. If you do have an external insicion, it would be wise to use some high factor sunscreen on it.

Sun exposure
You are going to get swelling but at this point it should not harm the final result. Keep a hat in your bag or car for the next 8 weeks.

Sun
Sun exposure early on can cause swelling that turns into scar. My rule of thumb is after six weeks sun is ok. You should be fine

Is It Bad if 5 Weeks After Rhinoplasty my Nose Was Exposed to the Sun Throughout the Day?
Is It Bad if 5 Weeks After Rhinoplasty my Nose Was Exposed to the Sun Throughout the Day? Although not ideal, at 5 weeks post Rhinoplasty the swelling from sun exposure should be temporary and leave no permanent issues. As always you should contact your Rhinoplasty surgeon for specific instructions.
