I had an Alar base reduction yesterday and I forgot to ask my doctor if I could wear my glasses. Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.
Answer: Glasses and nostril surgery You should ask your surgeon if you have any unclear post operative instructions, however if your surgery was isolated to the skin and nostril area, I would suspect it is OK to have glasses on the dorsum of your nose.

Answer: Glasses with alar base reduction Since the surgery is at the base of the alar and the glasses is sitting on the bridge of the nose it should be fine to wear glasses after alar base reduction only. Just be aware if the glasses is touching the alar base.

Answer: Can I wear my eyeglasses after an Alar base reduction? Always check with your surgeon. If all my patient has had is the simple reduction of the alar base and the eye glasses are not touching anywhere near the alar region I allow them to wear glasses

Answer: Recovering from rhinoplasty: alar reduction and eyeglasses Recovering from rhinoplasty is a healing process. Part of that process are restrictions and guidelines set by your surgeon to optimize your outcome. Frequently, patients are told to avoid eyeglasses as it puts pressure on the nose. Alar reduction involves the bottom of the nose. It is likely that eyeglasses will not affect this area as you heal; however, I always have my patients bring their glasses into the office to check. Very heavy glasses that rest low on the nose can potential put pressure on healing ala. Check with your surgeon. Safety comes first

Answer: Wearing glasses after alarplasty It really depends on a lot of things. If you have a choice, I would hold on wearing your glasses for now. It shouldn't be a huge problem, but I don't know how heavy your glasses are and how strong your nose bridge is. Some people wear heavy glasses very low and that could put pressure on your incisions, which you don't want during the first month while your incisions are healing.
