I am very nearsighted and have a really hard time without my glasses. I am scheduled for surgery in September and it just occurred to me that wearing glasses might be a problem. Is it?
Answer: Absolutely-but always proceed with care! If wearing eye glasses is part of your daily routine and imperative for you to be able to see, then by all means, you should continue to wear your eyeglasses post face lift surgery. With that being said, it's good to note that due to facial swelling post surgery, your glasses could feel tighter to the face, simply making the act of wearing the glasses uncomfortable for you-if this is the case, it's not a bad idea to limit the amount of time you wear the glasses in the first week or so following the procedure. Please also keep in mind that it is imperative to not irritate the sutures much (which tend to be located behind or near your ear area and temples). If you find that your eye glasses are causing too much irritation to the suture area, then again, you should think about limiting the amount of time that you wear the glasses in order to allow the suture site to properly heal. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this, please make sure to bring it up to your surgeon either before surgery or at your first post-op visit.

Answer: Glasses Can Be Worn After Facelift You can wear your glasses after a facelift. You might have trouble on the first night depending on the type of dressing that is applied. I would advise you to make sure that the glasses are not rubbing directly on the sutures. If the glasses are irritating, then gauze can be used to provide some padding
