I had rhinoplasty a little over five weeks ago. No bones were broken, just a dorsal hump removed and tip work done. I've had no complications and its been an ideal recovery. My friend needs help the next two days watching kids outside. Would it be alright to wear sunglasses these next two days?

Answer: Sunglasses after rhinoplasty
After 3 weeks the bones are usually healed enough to handle the weight of glasses. Regards

Answer: Glasses after rhinoplasty
Hello,
Thank you for the question. Your plastic surgeon will be the best person to answer that question since he/she will know what was done. With that said, sunglasses at 5 weeks should be fine. You may want to choose a pair of sunglasses that are light and fit comfortably. Very light sunglasses (plastic) with a wide nose piece that displaces the weight will be the most comfortable.
All the best,
