When can I wear contacts after rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Asked By:ara72 in Cleveland, OH

I had a rhinoplasty 5 days ago. My eyes were swollen shut for the first couple days and have since then slowly started to open up again. There is still bruising and mild swelling around the eyes, and the bottom corner inside my eyes are bloodshot red. Is it safe to wear contacts yet? If not, how long do I have to wait?
