Can I wear my eyeglasses after an Alar base reduction?

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

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.
