Can I go out in the sun / use a solarium?

☀️
First 2 Months: Protection

For the first 2 months post-surgery, you must protect your nose from direct sunlight and high heat (solarium, sauna, Turkish bath).

⚠️
Risk

Sunlight can cause an increase in edema and permanent color changes (staining) in healing tissues.

🧴
If You Must Go Out in the Sun

You must use a high-factor 50+ SPF sunscreen and wear a hat.
