Answer: Sunglasses two months after rhinoplasty
I usually let my patients wear sunglasses about 6 weeks after surgery. Best to ask your surgeon his opinion.

Answer: Wearing sunglasses after rhinoplasty
Congratulations on your rhinoplasty! Swelling can certainly alter the appearance of your nose, masking its true appearance until it resolves in several more months. Don't be too alarmed by the slight deviation, and stay in touch with your surgeon to see if there is anything you should be doing, such as compression exercises, to help assure your nose heals straight. Sunglasses should be fine at the 2 month mark (even chunky ones), but once again, check with your surgeon to be sure. I tell patients to wear their surgical cast under their glasses for the 1st 2 weeks after rhinoplasty, but then transition away from the cast as comfort allows.
