Can Wearing Eye Glasses for Long Periods of Time Cause Bumps or Dents on the Nose?

Dear Realself user,Unfortunately it is possible for the nose to have temporary changes when using glasses for a long time. This also has to do with genetics and your skin type.Luckely this can be easily taken care of with a rhinoplasty if you wish.

Wearing glasses on the nose wouldn't typically cause any sort of permanent shape changes to the nose, particularly the development of a bony hump or ridge on the bridge of the nose. This is most likely just a genetic predisposition. Luckily, this is something that can be readily treated with rhinoplasty if desired.
All the best,

Wearing eye glasses can leave temporary "dents" in the soft tissue of the nose due to the pressur ethat is placed on the area over a long period of time. This can sometimes create the illusion of bumps or irregularity but will disappear with time. WEaring eye glasses will not cause permanent bumps or dents on the nose.

Dear Perth-ness,

They usually do not leave permanent marks or bumps on your nose...alas, I think that the bump is there from the way you grew, or likely from some distant trauma.  After rhinoplasty, glasses can leave little dents as the swelling comes down, but these are not permanent either.

Where is the bump located?

Best,

Hi, thanks for sharing your concern
Amazing question, since you were 9 years old your whole body changed and grew up wearing eye glasses, it's important understand the nature of your nose and the symmetry involved, it would be very hard to suggest a treatment without a consultation with a board- certified plastic surgeon or at least share some pictures, however i consider the eye glasses could affect the shape of the nose if you have a previous issues  or a genetic predisposition , our nose is incredibly fragile.
I hope I've helped

 Wearing eyeglasses for a prolonged time can only create small indentations are temporary on the sidewalls of the nose where  your glasses ride. Eyeglasses do not cause a dorsal hump. The dorsal hump is composed of the bone and cartilage  needs to be shaved down if  you end up deciding to perform a rhinoplasty procedure. In addition to the shaving of the hump ,osteotomies would most likely be required to prevent an open roof deformity.

Eyeglasses can put pressure on areas of the nose leading to dents which will disappear once the glasses are off for awhile. Glasses should not cause bumps on the nose, however they may draw attention to a bump that was previously not noticed. Most surgeons have rhinoplasty patients not wear glasses for a few weeks after surgery so as not to change the position of grafts or bony shaping.

While it is possible that your skin may become thinner over the bridge of your nose in the area where your eyeglasses sit, if you can feel that the bump is bony and not soft tissue, it has likely been there since birth. If it bothers you, I would suggest you see a rhinoplasty surgeon to determine whether surgery would be the best option. Sometimes, injecting fillers above or below a nasal bump can be a simple non-surgical solution but a surgeon would really need to examine the area directly.
