Why does my nose still hurt when I wear glasses after rhinoplasty? Any treatments available for this?

Asked By:Energetic1899 in Tampa, FL

I had a rhinoplasty and septoplasty performed 1.5 year ago. I ended up with beautiful results but my nose is now very sensitive to any pressure and I often get headaches from wearing my glasses (which are thin wired and lightweight with nose pads). I asked my surgeon about this and he said I likely had sensitivity to glasses before my surgery and I am more aware of it now after surgery but I disagree because I previously wore very heavy glasses and sunglasses often/all day without any issues.
