Does SPF number matter and would I need to increase to 75-100 after rhinoplasty?

I have heard about discoloration possibilities and nose being more susceptible to sunburns post rhinoplasty. My question is does SPF number matter? I have heard that spa 30 isn't much different than spa 75. I use SPF 40 daily but if I had a rhinoplasty would I need to increase my daily SPF to 75-100? Does it make much difference?
