It's been almost three weeks since I had rhinoplasty, and today I wore glasses for the first time for a few hours. I normally wear contacts but my eyes are really irritated today. I took them off and now there is a small indentation in the bridge. Will this go away?

Answer: Post Rhinoplasty Concerns with Glasses Dear Sydney, Yes, this should go away. Typically we have our patients discontinue the use of glasses for four to six weeks after rhinoplasty. If patients need to wear glasses then we do look at the glasses and determine which type is best for wear. Oftentimes I give my patients some thin clear tape and instruct them how to lightly tape the glasses to the area between the brows. This can be done easily and takes any pressure of wearing glasses off the table. Speak with your surgeon and their policies. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
