Is sun exposure dangerous even after a closed nasal tip rhinoplasty?

May 25, 2020
Asked By:Forceful810649 in England, United Kingdom

I am aware that sun exposure can lead to scars and hyperpigmentation after an open rhinoplasty. However, I am wondering whether sun exposure has negative effects after a close nasal tip surgery, when there is no incisions. I am planning on correcting my tip in the beginning of July. Would it be unsuitable to go on a summer vacation in mid-August?

Ronald J. Edelson, MD says:

I don’t see the dermoid in your photos. I would be interested in knowing if it is truly a dermoid. Removing it may not be worth the scar if it’s that small. If it is a midline dermoid you would need a MRI to see how extensive it is.

For eyeglass wearers, can a rhinoplasty change the position of where your eyeglasses sit on your bridge?
Andrew Miller, MD says:

The reason to undergo rhinoplasty would be to improve the shape of the nose so that you are happier with it. If you feel like your nose is flat and doesn't have a good bridge, then building it up would be great, and you glasses would sit higher too. However if you like your nose the way it is,...
