Wearing Glasses: Can It Affect the Shape of Your Nose?

Question

I've been wearing glasses since I was 9 - now I'm 20. Can this create bumps on your nose?

Stephen Weber MD, FACS · Answer

Wearing glasses should not change the shape of your nose. What you've most likely seen between 9 years of age and today is just development of your nasal and facial skeleton. If you are concerned about "bumps" or other aspects of the shape of your nose, they can often be improved with rhinoplasty surgery. I hope this information is helpful.

Wearing glasses may cause a temporary depression on the skin of your nose but ultimately it will not cause a permanent change to the shape of your nose.
