Can you apply sunblock over sutures 4 days into rhinoplasty and blepharospasty?

Asked By:victoriakate in Beverly Hills, CA

I have not gotten my suture removed from rhinoplasty and blepharospasty but need to go out to run an errand. Is okay to apply sunblock directly onto sutures? I'm using absent for babies 56+ sunblock. Will it cause scarring?
