If I am going to raise my nose bridge via surgery. Is it fine to wear glasses? Would the weight of the lens put an indent into my new nose? Thanks
Answer: Wearing Glasses Post Rhinoplasty I recommend that my patients not wear glasses for at least 4 weeks after rhinoplasty surgery. Wearing glasses post rhinoplasty will apply pressure to the bridge of the nose, which can cause indentations. Talk to your surgeon and ask to show you how to tape your glasses from the forehead to avoid putting pressure on your new nose.

Answer: S it okay to wear glasses post Rhinoplasty? Perth Thanks for the question. The safest thing to do is not wear your glasses or at least not let them rest on the bridge of your nose. You can use tape to suspend them from your forehead, although not ideal it is better than having a permanent bump on your nose from the pressure. I usually recommend a minimum of 6 weeks post surgery before wearing glasses normally.RegardsDr Guy Watts

Answer: Wearing Glasses After Rhinoplasty After a rhinoplasty to raise the bridge, you should wait to wear glasses until directed to do so by your surgeon. Show your surgeon the glasses you wear so he/she can assess the weight, and then in your postoperative visits make sure to ask when it is appropriate to wear them again. I wish you a successful surgery.
