For eyeglass wearers, can a rhinoplasty change the position of where your eyeglasses sit on your bridge?

The reason to undergo rhinoplasty would be to improve the shape of the nose so that you are happier with it. If you feel like your nose is flat and doesn't have a good bridge, then building it up would be great, and you glasses would sit higher too. However if you like your nose the way it is, then it would be better to just have your glasses made to fit your face better.

Hi thanks for sharing your question. A rhinoplasty can raise your depressed bridge which can change the position of your glasses to a more favorable position. This obviously also depends on the type of glasses and how they sit on your nose. Hope this helps. Good luck

Thank you for posting your interesting rhinoplasty question. The bridge or dorsum of you nose can be augmented with either cartilage or a silicone graft depending on the amount of height required. Your optometrist will be able to adjust your glasses to your augmented nasal dorsum. Digital imaging can help you see what can be accomplished with a rhinoplasty. I recommend that you have a consultation with a Board certified Plastic Surgeon who is experienced with rhinoplasty. Best wishes,
