How Long After Rhinoplasty Can I Began Wearing Glasses?

After 2 weeks you'll be fine. Agree with the comment here about goggles. Not for 4-6 weeks. Your glasses might not fit well initially.

In most rhinoplasty patients, the components of the surgery can
vary largely on a patient-by-patient basis. This includes the duration of and
the speed of your recovery, which directly affects when you can start wearing
your glasses. As a general rule of thumb, I would advise that you refrain from
wearing your glasses for at least 6 weeks after your nose job. Try to wear
contact lenses if possible, as the weight of your glasses can put unnecessary
strain on your new nose that is still healing. For a more accurate,
personalized assessment of your progress and recovery, consult the surgeon who
performed your nose job.

Thank you for this great question which many patients contemplating or undergoing this procedure are sure to ask. This questions is most relevant in Rhinoplasty cases where the nasal bones were surgically broken and re-positioned (via osteotomies). It takes about 6 weeks for the nasal bones to set so to play it really safe, it is best to wait until then for regular use glasses. There are many situations in which patients request to use glasses (either reading or for sun) earlier than the 6-week mark. I have often permitted patients to wear very light-weight glasses after the 2-3 week mark depending on the glasses and the nature of the procedure performed, as the nasal bones are likely solid "enough" to withstand such light pressure. I do encourage patients not to keep glasses on for a period of greater than 20-30 minutes at a time, with frequent breaks. Creative forehead contraptions that allow patients to wear glasses that do not rest on their nasal bridge are always welcome! Hope this helps! Best, Dr. Roy.
