What is the Science Behind Staying out of the Sun After Rhinoplasty?

August 1, 2012
Asked By:Rachel Lynn in Newton Center, MA

Just wondering. I'm going to the cape next weekend, and while I'm fully prepared to lather my face in 100+ SPF and wear a hat, I was wondering what the science is behind staying out of the sun. I had a revision rhinoplasty (a little over a week ago) to shave down residual hump on my bridge. There is still swelling, especially in the tip. Thanks for your help in advance!
