Can I wear braces elastics after rhinoplasty? I'm about 7-8 weeks post op. But whenever I wear my elastics it feels as if theres pressure on the bone from the braces elastics force? I first wore myelatics 5 weeks post op and i felt pain around the nasal bridge. Ive looked around for a question similar to this but none on the forums seem to have a similar question.
