Keep Glasses from Touching Nose After Nose Surgery
In the weeks after your nose surgery, septoplasty or nose job, doctors advise patients to avoid wearing their glasses for 4-8 weeks
If you are among many who wear prescription glasses or sunglasses and is considering a rhinoplasty, it is important to know that wearing glasses on your nose during the nose surgery recovery is very hazardous and not recommended. The tension of eyewear will make your bones shift and indented, requiring more remedial medical procedure. Once the cast is removed you should avoid wearing glasses (including sunglasses) directly on your nose for approximately for 4-8 weeks after surgery.
