Be careful with the sun after rhinoplasty surgery

It’s fantastic to have good weather at last to start our British Summer!

Don’t forget that exposure to the sun, though, risks premature ageing and skin cancers.

In Rhinoplasty, the skin mustn’t be exposed to strong sunlight for at least 3 months afterwards, as it’s much more prone to sunburn and long-term swelling for this time.  A complete sunblock and a hat should be worn when out in bright sunlight.

The skin is so important in Rhinoplasty, and it’s also important to know that drugs like Roaccutane tablets and Accutane cream should be avoided for 3 months before and after rhinoplasty.
