Is it safe to walk in the sun wearing high SPF sunscreen 3 weeks after rhinoplasty?

Question

I can’t put hat or cap on all styles, I can’t either avoid walking, driving, shopping in the sun, can I just use sunscreen with no hats?

Jonathan Berman, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. While it is best if you try to avoid direct sunlight to your nose as much as possible, I understand that complete avoidance is not completely practical. If you absolutely must go outside without a hat on, be sure to always apply sunscreen, and avoid spending long periods of time in the sun. Best of luck.

The skin over the dos may be more prone to burning and you are better to not go out in the sun but if you have to then wear a good sun block.
