Im going to have my dorsal hump rasped and I want to continue tanning afterwards. I always cover my face with towels in the tanning bed. Can I still do this after the rasping procedure? My Dr. says I will have a splint on. Will the splint be ok in the tanning bed? How about after the splint is removed? Can I cover my face and tan then?

Answer: Rhinoplasty and tanning bed Hello! Um, this is so wrong on so many accounts. Just.... No, do not do it. Aside from the pressure on the nose, the fact that tanning beds can cause discoloration of scars and the fact that towels do NOT protect against damage tanning beds will acccelerate premature aging of the skin and increase your risk of melanoma. Spray tan instead.

Answer: Tanning after rhinoplasty Tanning can increase risk of skin cancer and using it with a splint can also lead to differences in your tan on your face. Routine screening for skin cancer is important and you should see a dermatologist for this. Good luck, MMT
