How soon can glasses be worn after rhinoplasty?

Hello, thanks for your question.
Most patients need to avoid glasses for about 6 weeks so the nasal bones can heal without pressure. If you can’t use contacts, you can try wearing very light glasses so there won't be a lot of pressure on your nasal bone.
Your surgeon will confirm the exact timeline for your case.

After rhinoplasty, a plastic splint is placed on the nose during the first week. During this time, patients can wear their glasses over the splint to read, watch something, or even drive.As you know, we remove the splint after one week. Following this, glasses should generally not touch the nose for about three weeks. During this period, for activities like driving, reading, or working, patients can still wear their glasses over the splint. Some patients use a small tape to attach their glasses to the forehead to avoid putting pressure on the nose.So, in general, our patients can start wearing lightweight glasses about 3–4 weeks after surgery.

Hello! Thank you for your questio.
As far as I can understand from your question We recommend that you do not wear glasses for 3 months after surgery. It is important to consult with the surgeon who performed your surgery about this matter, as each surgeon has their own procedure.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!

This is the recommendation that we give to our patients. If you need to wear your glasses after your splint is removed, there are several options. You can ask your surgeon to give you an unused protective splint to put on your nose while you're wearing glasses, or you could consider purchasing devices for exactly this purpose, on Amazon. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

After rhinoplasty, glasses are usually avoided for about 4–6 weeks to prevent pressure on the nasal bones while they heal. In some cases, surgeons allow earlier use with special taping or support methods that keep the glasses off the nose. The exact timing depends on the type of rhinoplasty performed, so you should follow your surgeon’s specific instructions.
