Sunglasses 5 Weeks After Rhinoplasty?

I generally advise my patients to wait 6 weeks before wearing sunglasses. I would recommend speaking with your surgeon, as they may have a specific protocol they would like you to follow. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck. 

Five weeks is more than enough time to allow wearing his sunglasses even if in fracturing is part of the operation.

In my practice, patients can wear glasses 6 weeks after their surgery. You should ask your surgeon to see what he recommends.

After 3 weeks the bones are usually healed enough to handle the weight of glasses. Regards

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,
