I am aware that sun exposure can lead to scars and hyperpigmentation after an open rhinoplasty. However, I am wondering whether sun exposure has negative effects after a close nasal tip surgery, when there is no incisions. I am planning on correcting my tip in the beginning of July. Would it be unsuitable to go on a summer vacation in mid-August?
Hi! I am 2 mons rhinoplasty post op. My nose before was fine and thinner. But 2 days ago it started to become red and swell. My suspects are 1) because I massage it very hard that's why it started to swell. 2) because of the kojic soap I use and exposed it to sun. 3) Or the make up brushes I use?? Infected?? If it is, I dont feel anything. My doctor is really hard to reach because of busy scheds. We will meet in 3 days. He asked me to take antibiotics for 7 days. Please I need an honest answer.
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?
The day of my cast removal my nose looked small, however the day after when i traveled i started to smoke and i had sun exposure every day in the beach and sometimes my nose really swells after the sun. Fortunately after my one week vacation i stopped smoking and stopped going out in the sun so i am worried i damaged my results because i have more swelling in one side so my nose appears a little bit assymetric. I am 4 weeks post op and I had medial and lateral osteotomies endonasally.
So, Ive been TERRIFIED to go out to the sun because I really dont wanna get those dark spots on my nose. When I do have to go out, I always use sun cream, but I STILL feel very discomfort. I just dont wanna have to worry about it. Its been 5 months, and I am wondering If I can FINALLY not worry about sun exposure and actually not have to wear sun cream? ITS MAKING ME SICK. Thank you.
I came back to work one week after my surgery and my parking garage is across the street. I haven't been wearing sun block because it's a short walk. I know now to wear sunblock everyday and stay in the shade when outside or wear a hat.
I'm having rhinoplasty in three weeks. I'm a teacher, so I'm off for the next month and a half. We have a pool, and I'd like for my kids to be able to swim during my recovery. I do not tan, so my plan is to stay in the shade and watch my children. Is it okay to be outside in the heat, but not exposed to the sun? I don't want to hinder my healing or results, but I also want my children to enjoy their summer.
