Three months after my rhinoplasty i began tanning, once or twice i forgot sunscreen but after that i have always worn sunscreen (70 SPF) and sometimes a hat or towel to cover my face. I haven't gotten a sunburn on my nose, and I only went out for an hour or two each time, but i am concerned because it has been direct sunlight and am paranoid that it is swelling more. Is it possible that the sun/heat would cause the swelling to become permanent or become scar tissue?
I no longer have stitches but my incision sight is still pretty promenade/visible. There isn't any open sores but but the scar is hasn't started fading yet. I'm going to the lake but going to try my best to stay in the shade at all times and going to be wearing a hat but just in case I was wondering if I should put sunscreen on the incision sight to prevent scarring? And if so, what type of sunscreen? Thanks!
I have not gotten my suture removed from rhinoplasty and blepharospasty but need to go out to run an errand. Is okay to apply sunblock directly onto sutures? I'm using absent for babies 56+ sunblock. Will it cause scarring?
