Can I wear my glasses or contacts after rhinoplasty?
It’s best to allow a day or so before using your contact lenses following rhinoplasty. It’s not uncommon for patients to tell us that giving their eyes a temporary rest from the contact lenses feels good for the first two to three days following rhinoplasty. It’s OK to rest your glasses on the nasal cast. However, one week following rhinoplasty the cast is removed. At that time we will show you how to use the Frame-Ups to prevent your eyewear from resting directly on your nose. We strongly recommend that you use the frame-ups for postoperative week #2 – which is the week following cast removal.
