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

Energetic1899May 30, 2019
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.

Hello. Great question. Congratulations on your procedure. There is still swelling present. The swelling misguides the results of your procedures. It can take up to one year for all the swelling to go down. Keep following up with your surgeon.
