Can I sun tan before a rhinoplasty?

I usually advise protecting the skin from strong sunshine for 3 months before and 3 months after a rhinoplasty.  Strong sun exposure causes inflammation of the skin.  A tan means skin has had high sun exposure.  Inflammation will risk more temporary or even permanent swelling after rhinoplasty. I advise a complete sun block cream for the 3 months before and 3 months after.  And maybe a good hat with a peak or brim!  Sun is usually less of a problem here in the UK.  Good luck.

Suntanning is acceptable prior to rhinoplasty procedure, however is not a good idea to have a sunburn immediately prior to the rhinoplasty procedure. Remember to use your sunscreen/ sunblock
