To avoid deformities in the healing nasal bones, sunglasses or frame glasses should not be placed on the bridge of the nose for at least 4 to 6 weeks. If it is necessary to wear them, they should be taped to the forehead. Also, sun exposure should be strictly avoided for the first few months and sunscreen SPF 50+ should always be used, as the sun can cause permanent dark pigmentation of the still swollen skin.
