How long after a rhinoplasty before I can wear loupes or glasses? I wear loupes while working. It's relatively light weight; designed for vision 2.5x with led headlight. I can't work without them.

Answer: Rhinoplasty and eyewear I advise my patients who have had bony alterations of the nose to tape their glasses to their forehead to take the pressure off of their nose for six weeks following rhinoplasty. Glasses have become so much lighter over the past several years that it is unlikely that you will cause any damage after that period of time. The use of loupes can make this a little more difficult. Loupes are heavier than regular glasses and they also have to be worn like reading glasses which will make taping them at just the right level a little tricky. My suggestion is that if you feel any pressure while wearing your loupes after rhinoplasty, either re-tape them or take a break (no pun intended).

Answer: 4-6weeks later However, as soon as the cast is removed we have our patients use flesh colored tape to hold the center of the glasses to the forehead. That way they can be worn 6 days later.
