    @chelseagirl65 when you had your op did they mention anything about the sun or going on holiday? Both my PC and the nurse in pre-op know i am going to tenerife for 16 days 6 weeks after surgery and didnt mention anything. But ive noticed a few people saying you shouldnt be in sun for 6 months post op? x

    • Well no, I didn’t discuss anything like that due to operation sucking up all my money anyways, I couldn’t afford a holiday even if i wanted to!! All I remember the nurse etc stating is that I couldn’t wear fake tan for a while (which I didn’t anyways) so i wasn’t really a problem. If you are worried, just wear a really big sunhat…hehehehe! I am at my 6 week PO right now and I will say that every week you feel it getting better and better….I was worried actually after about 3 weeks as the inside of my nose was extrememly blocked (one nostrel) and what looked like bubble blisters etc…..but now that has all gone down etc) I would say at 6 weeks it feels pretty normal ~ though right on the tip it still feels foreign… but even that day by day gets better. I think that if you put sunscreen on you should be fine, its not like its gonna burst into flames if you stay out in the sun too long…LOL! Sorry not been much help….try and google and see if anyone comes up with anything ~ as there are a few forums online ~ thats one thing I think this forum should have and thats a word search….so that you can at least find answer which people have given on certain topics… would be sooooo helpful for us on here 🙂 xx

      • I spoke to my PC on friday and she said i should be fine, just need to put really high factor suncream on my face and make sure i keep applying it to my wounds! Id hate to come back with dark scars on my nose because of it hahah! Defo buying a big hat though, good idea. Yeah it should have a search engine, its hard to find the stuff you want sometimes. Got my op on saturday, getting really nervous now! xx
