1 week post otoplasty, how soon before I can wear glasses?

Asked By:Anthony1696 in Elmhurst, IL

It's about a week since my otoplasty surgery but I am worried that if I begin to use my glasses this early it would effect the outcome of my results. I do feel a little pain/discomfort when wearing them. Should I stop wearing them and if so how long should I wait till I am able to wear glasses without it affecting my ears development. Or can I wear them now? The glasses don't push out my ears or anything but they just give me some pain/discomfort.
