Can wearing heavy glasses frame cause your nose to saddle 1 year after your 2nd rhinoplasty?

December 28, 2015
Asked By:davidoff in Georgiana, AL

I had 2 rhinoplasty,each time the bones were broken and cartilage reshaped.I have astigmatism and I have to start wearing back my glasses after not wearing them for a year. I like plastic frames which are a bit heavy compared to rimless and titanium frames. My question is if i start wearing my glasses again will it affect the shape of my new nose 1 year postop. I just have this feeling that it will give me a saddle nose or the frame will cause the nose to sink a bit over the area its resting on.
